About me - I am 14, I've been playing guitar since I was 7. I would say I'm decent, others say I'm excellent, but until I become a god of guitar such as Randy Rhoads, Eddie Van Halen, Dimebag Darrell, etc. I would never say I'm good. I have been trying to learn the drums, however I find it rather hard. I started off learning Toxicity by System of a Down and Animal I Have Become by Three Days Grace. I play Cymbals for Jeannette Marching Band in Pennsylvania, and I play Guitar for Concert and Stage Band. I would like to organize a Journey show next school year for Marching Band consisting of Open Arms, Any Way You Want It, Don't Stop Believing, and Wheel in the Sky by Journey, also Renegade by Styx and maybe Carry On My Wayward Son by Kansas, or something by REO Speedwagon or something from that Era. I want to start taking Piano Lessons, I only play by ear and by reading some 'piano tabs.' I'm not really a vocalist but in my band, which we have not named yet, I harmonize with my Lead Singer who actually has a decent voice, especially when we're practicing a cover for Kryptonite by Three Doors Down for a concert we're doing at the end of the year for our school. There isn't much to say, I find the style of Jazz the hardest to play, I started off playing Rock and Metal and so it's little more challenging with the chords and such, but I am gradually learning. I love Rock and Metal, some of my favorite bands are Avenged Sevenfold, KISS, Green Day, Metallica, The Offspring, Rise Against, Black Veil Brides, Journey, Nirvana, Ozzy Osbourne, Bon Jovi, Queensryche, Disturbed, Five Finger Death Punch, and A Day to Remember. I am not a huge fan of current day rap music, however Eminem is one of my favorite artists, and Madonna, Katy Perry, and Christina Perri are my favorite pop artists. I strongly despise dubstep as a style of music and cannot fathom Screamo, Metalcore music. Bands like Asking Alexandria, Attack Attack!, Winds of Plague, August Burns Red, and such. I cannot just get into. I don't mind little screaming in bands like A Day To Remember, Black Veil Brides, Breaking Benjamin, and such, Bullet For My Valentine goes to the line on how much screaming I can take in a song. That's about all there is to me music wise.
