I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

My name is Joshua. I'm 28 years old. I have a great fiance named Whitney. We have been together for about a year and a half. I am currently working at an aircraft maintenance facility. I'm also in school to be a Network Engineer (C.C.N.A.) I have been playing guitar for about 10 years and enjoy playing many different styles of music. Anything from classical to metal. I'm also really getting into recording lately. I've got Sonar 7, Guitar Rig 3, and a bunch of other cool programs that I'm messing with. I'm working on the Exalta songs, which is my band, as well as some solo stuff. My stuff is best described as instrumental guitar music similar to Joe Satriani and Steve Vai. As soon as I get some stuff recorded, that I'm happy with, I will post it on here. I also teach guitar every once in a while when I can find someone who needs lessons. So, when I'm not doing one of the above activities, I'm usually reading, working out, or spending time with the wonderful Whitney. :) I'm always looking for new friends and people to collaborate with musically so drop me a line if you're interested.Myspace Backgrounds

I don't believe you can get more heroic than that. It makes the problems that I might have every day seem VERY insignificant, and also makes me realize that any day that you can wake up and be able to see, hear, walk, etc. is a good day. There are plenty of people out there who would give ANYTHING just to be able to stand up on their own, see a sunset, or hug a loved one. Little stuff that most people tend to take for granted.

Rusty Cooley

This is Rusty Cooley from Texas. He is definitely one of the fastest, and more importantly cleanest, players around. He has been playing for about 27 years I believe....
