What instrument/brand and style of music do you play?

I sing, play guitar, and bass.

I use Ibanez guitars and basses, and I write and play progressive heavy metal.

Been out of it for a bit, but I'm about to get back into it soon. An old drummer and I are going to record some songs for submission to record labels for one last shot at 'making it.'

If it happens, great. If not, at least we'll have a badass recording.

Guitar player, and I sing. Confirmed vintage Gibson snob, and tube amp snob as well... though I have a fair variety of gear and some of it is solid state.

I'm getting back into it after a long hiatus too, trying to get my playing and singing back up to snuff (and it would help if my work ethic about practicing were better haha) but just glad to be doing it again at all. I'll never give it up again, for any reason.



You will never believe this...I use a Rockman, (Tom Sholtz) with a booster and an extra EQ through a Fender Twin. You want to talk about the most badass metal sound?

Guitar, drums, bass, vocal, teaching self piano. I'm a metalhead, but I prefer jazz drumming, because it's more interesting, as is jazz guitar, although I don't care to listen to jazz for the most part. I just play it to learn it and apply it to my own stuff. But since metal isn't the only genre I listen to, there are things from all that I listen to I'd like to apply to my music. I'm not anal as in one of those THIS IS WRONG!!!! THIS ISN'T METAL!!!!!! THAT'S NOT REAL MUSIC!!!!!! BLAH BLAH BLAH!!!!! people. How easily they forget that there are still people who say metal isn't real music.

You're a virgo and play stringed instruments so well? LOL Astrology is real LOL
I have acoustic and electric guitars, and I have an eletronic drumset, 'cause I live in apartment.
I can't stand more than 30 minutes praticing guitar and I don't know much theory, I mostly play by ear. But I can say I am a frustrated guitarist. I play drums real good, though, since the first time at a friend's house. Never tried to play bass (yet) LOL
So, tell me, how can you be so focused in training scales and that things? I wanna be a good guitarist so badly 😢
