About Me

Ok, I play the guitar, but currently only childrens' songs... :-) . I will post a photo of my guitar soon.
I started playing guitar when I was ten. My teacher was surprised to hear that the first song I wanted to learn was "Smoke on the water"...
(Yes, I can hear you hum the tune now! :-) )
Not easy on a six steel string accoustic guitar, I can tell you. Even the simplest cords hurt my fingers until they bled (Yes Brian, mine too). But I thought I was the coolest guy in school!
Nowadays, I play a José Rodríguez Spanish six nylon string guitar (model 285, no 19345), back then chosen for the yellowish color, which has changed to a much darker color over the years. I play all kinds of music, mostly pop and classic rock. But beware, should I ever buy an electric guitar, I'll play disco rhythm guitar! That's what I really like!!
And Sjèpe? Well, that's my first name in Spanish, given to me by a Spanish guitarist, long ago. You figure it out...

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I've met Setra from Belgium and Jodymoon!
Setra: A pure guitar band being a rough diamond, waiting to be polished (but not too much ;-) ). The recent drummer addition is splendid!
And Jodymoon... Oh, her voice and the Wurlizer, joined by a rough and yet gentle guitar wizard, who plays with his heart in stead of his fingers! The demo/single combinations on the CD are brilliant.
Makes you wanna jam!
