About Guitarmaster
Ive been playing guitar for 10 years self taught but have studied some music theory. Looking to start or join a band. Im not too fussy as I like most music. My favourite genres are grunge, punk and metal, so I probably won't join if we are going to be doing Beatles and Oaisis covers.Having said that I do like a bit of pop/pop rock and a little bit of indie. I play an Epiphone Les Paul Standard and a Gothic Explorer, amps I use are a VOX Nightrain all valve head and ad30vt. Major influences are: QOTSA Muse Nirvana RHCP Rage against the machine Hole The Distillers Smashing Pumpkins Rammstein Tool The Strokes I also listen to heaps of metal and like playing in dropped c tuning
