Hi everyone, my name is Michael and I come to you from North East England (County Durham to be more precise).
I have owned a guitar for many years but I have never really took the time to learn the scales, chords and general music theory behind writing my own music, as I was one of these people who bugged their parents for a guitar just so that I could learn to play some songs. I hope that will change here.
My favourite genre of music I would say is Metal in the Technical/Melodic Death category. The main reason I like this genre is simply due to the guitars. My favourite guitarists are probably:
Muhammed - Necrophagist
Karl Sanders - Nile
Dave Suzuki - Vital Remains
However, Metal isn't the only thing I enjoy, my musical taste is slightly more diverse, if you would like to know anymore please feel free to ask me
I haven't wrote anything of note. I was in a band a while a go and I came up with one of the slow rythm riffs, but other than that nothing really. I keep thinking up a riff in my head and thinking, "God, that would sound epic if I could actually write that!" and then I go and try it.... It never really works out the way I had imagined.
