I'm Josh, from Canada. Sudbury Ontario to be more specific. I havent always lived here, I was born in Oakville. i thoughed it sucked living down there. (Sorry if I offended anyone here from Oakville)
I'm 16. I started playing around 6 or 7, but got board with it real quick. Then when I was 13, I took it up again after seeing the part in the Wedding Singer where Adam Sandler plays that loud song where he yells a lot. I was like, "I wanna do that!" So I got a new guitar and have been very seriously dedicated to the instrument ever since.
I like almost every style of music there is, and I like trying to play stuff why beyond my actual playing ability. Its great practise. For about half a year I've been working on speed and feel, and now I am getting into shredding a lot. I tried the self taught thing by buying books, but that went no where. I got guitar lessons and learned to read music, and am in two bands at the moment, where I have loads of fun.
I play an Epiphone SG, but I'm bent on getting myself something with a floating bridge, probably an Ibanez RG, the White one that looks like Vai's guitar.
