11/6/2004 at 05:58Well, I suppose I should introduce myself. I live in Calgary, Canada and
it seems I play the guitar (or try to anyway). I have played in piles of
bands. I have played for probably 10 years or so. I have played bass for
about 15 years. I first moved from bass to guitar when I got bored of the
bass because the challenge disappeared and I could play pretty much
anything I wanted with ease. I have been struggling trying to achieve
anywhere near that level of proficience on the guitar ever since with mixed
results. I am totally self taught and have only recently beun to take it
really seriously. And that is how I ended up here. I have tons of gaps in
my guitar knowledge. Most notably a complete lack of theory and advanced
techniques. I am currently trying to improve solo techniques and finger
playing techniques. My main musical interest is rather extreme metal. I
am way into progressive death metal. Especially the sound coming out of
Sweden at the moment. But my interests are pretty wide in the big picture.
I spent my youth in punk bands and would love to learn some classical
guitar.
Outside of guitars, I am literally obsessed with motorcycles. Sportbikes
to be precise. I hope to race eventually, butmy finances are a problem
because I am also a student. I am studying archaeology at the University
of Calgary and hope to pursue it to the Ph D level and make a career out of
it. My main archaeological interest is in the physical anthropology side
of things., especially human evolution. I haven't looked at the off toic
area yet, but if anyone shares this interest I would love to discuss it as
well as guitars.
Anyway, my long windedness has betrayed both my academic nature and my
slightly buzzed state (hey give me a break, it is Fraiday night and I spend
the whole day in an osteology lab, I need to unwind a bit). I like what I
see so far and I think I will stick around.

What came first the chicken or the egg? This will sure stir up some
evolution. We have an interesting crowd around here just join in.
Keep in touch

at the same time...just a thought.
Sounds good.
