Allow me to introduce myself... my name is Don Caballero de Todo Antes El Noble El Viento de la Espada Montollamas del Fuego Ligero Rodriguez de Montolla Dinero Juarez, and I only answer to my full name.

And now that we're past my moment of weirdness, and all know that isn't my real name...

I've played keys for since I was 6, guitar since I was 18, and pro starting at 15 (music director jobs, writing and performing for a living, etc). I've played contemporary to soundtracks, acoustic rock, hardcore, progressive, and everything in between. I wish I could say that I'm wonderful, but I still feel like a novice on guitar. I've walked away from a record deal before everyone else got screwed, and I've had life push me away from being in a band (which I'm finally recovering from). I ran a recording studio for about 8 years, still work some as an engineer, and also advise musicians in mindset, image, and business. Man, I'm starting to feel old after writing all of that.

I love meeting other musicians, and gleening from them. I also love to help wherever I can. I hope to make this forum one of my few music homesteads... and possibly get some tips to make my guitar playing better.
