Hey,
Just wanted to introduce myself here.
I am 17 years old and live in Horsens, Denmark. I am a aspiring guitar player and I also have a big interest in the 2nd World War and of course Music.
My influences are mainly Yngwie Malmsteen, Eddie Van Halen, Ken Hammer and Kirk Hammett (dont slap me :lol: ), but I also have many other bands that I like, Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath, Quiet Riot, Whitesnake, Skid Row, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and some other stuff. I practice everyday to reach my goal which is to play Trilogy Suite and Rising Force on guitar flawless, a goal which will take practice and dedication but should be alot of fun too.
I am currently learning with the Doug Marks Metal Method Course, and have made a project of (once done) to learn Smoke On The Water, Here I Go Again On My Own and Quiet Riots version of Cum On Feel The Noize. I will record them, and upload them here, so you can evaluate my playing if you would be so kind.
I have spent alot of money on gear, and currently own 2 guitars.
The first is a 1989 Charvel 375 Deluxe. I found it in a guitar store, where no one had bought it for a year. Tried it, and bought it. The frets barely have any wear, and havent even been changed yet. The pickups have been changed to DiMarzios, a Evo2 in the bridge and a HS-3 in the neck, with the middle position empty. It also has a Schaller floyd. My strap is a DiMarzio Camo cliplock.
The second is a 2004 Fender Stratocaster Classic 50s series, MIM, in Surf Green. Vintage 6screw trem and stock cr@p pickups. It sounds great, and is made of Alder with a one piece maple neck.
My amp is a ENGL Screamer with a Z-5 foot controller, its a awesome amp. Kinda combines Mesa/Boogie smooth and tight bottom with a Marshalls dirty midrange. But its really a beast with its own character.
I also have loads of FXs and stompers and a Marshall JCM800 4x12" cab model 1982.
And a little pic to round off with.

All best from yours truly,
