I'm 20, I'm from Brighton in England (one of the few englanders on here last time I checked) and I'm currently working for a degree in Foreign Languages at Sussex University.

Been doing music since I was eight years old, my first instrument being recorders and the piano. I also play cello which I picked up later. You can guess I come from a classical background but at heart I'm a guitarist who plays more contemporary styles. Started with the blues which I still favour when playing, but love listening to prog. rock and metal (both traditional and nu styles.) Guitarists I'm currently most interested in are: Eric Johnson, Robben Ford, Alex Lifeson, Steve Vai and Jimmy Page.

I've played in a couple of bands but nothings really taken off for me so far...I'm still seaking those ideal band-mates but at the moment I'm happy working solo on my material, which is mostly intrumental as I find lyrics really frustrating. My fav guitar is my black mexican Strat - I love its feel and versatile tone. I use a marshall valve amp although I'm starting to find it rather limiting in sound range, but its adequate for now.
