I'm new to these boards and wanted to introduce myself. I've been playing since I was about 16, and i'm turning 22 shortly. I'm a fairly solid player, though I have trouble with speed and cleanliness. If you guys think there are good posts to start with, please post them in replys! Glad to meet you all! :cool:

Some of my influences would be John Petrucci, Steve Vai, and David Gilmour. My style would be closest to Petrucci, but I tend to play less complex stuff (obviously :D ).

Gear: OLP Petrucci MM, Squier strat w/dimarzzio's neck and bridge, Yamaha acoustic

Welcome to GT. :) I like Gilmour and Petrucci too!

Hey man, welcome to the boards. I'm going to rep you now, because I have to spread it around. Enjoy!

Do you have any idea what that probably sounds like to someone who doesn't know what you're talking about? :eek: :D

Welcome. Your influences are shared by nearly every on this board.

Hows the JP guitar? I'm seriously considering getting one. What pickups exactly have you put in it?

I havn't put any pickups in the OLP JP axe, but it sounds great. Doesn't get as much crunch as I like, but I use my squire strat with super distortion and a steve vai (i think, its been a few years since i dropped them in) for that type of music. It has a great feel to the fretboard and neck, and has great playability with low string action. I get a bit of fret buzz around the middle frets, but the inntonation is also pretty good (not perfect though). It can really sing, but I want a Low B on there! For the price, I don't think you can beat this guitar.

I used to have a Jackson DR7-t, absolutly loved that thing, but was time to move on to something new.
