About Me

Music is my life, I play both Acoustic and Electric Guitar, Bass(Just starting to learn) and Drums(Also just starting to learn), I also listen to a wide variety of metal and rock genres. I mostly listen to Metal/Hardcore/Thrash, my musical influences range from Jimi Hendrix all the way to Slayer(That is a large span of music!). Like I said before I "play" these instruments but I'm not exactly the greatest musician that has ever graced this planet and I most likely won't ever be but that's ok with me. I'm also a Guitar Tech. in training, I figure if I can't be on stage playing in front of a crowd I could be working behind the scenes. I enjoy going to as many concerts as I can each year, I've only went to a handful this year. I'm a supporter of local music. You should check out Among Thy Saints(http://www.myspace.com/amongthysaints570), these guys are amazing musicians and also close friends of mine! They're a mix of Metal/Hardcore. Also check out Almost One(http://www.myspace.com/almostone), these guys are skilled musicians and have created some of the most original music I've heard in a long time and I'm also related to Butch, one of the guitarist of Almost One. They're a mix of Acoustic/Rock/Alternative. So go out and support local music!I have an interest in Guitar Design/Graphics/Customizing. I've always wanted to create my own guitars, someday I'll get a company started so I can create these one of a kind guitars. I have a few guitar concepts sketched out but nothing worth previewing.I consider myself an easy going person, enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I'm also a geek and I'm proud to admit that! Between May-July of 2007 I'll be starting a new career, I'll be interning in Wilkes Barre for the position of Computer Technician. I've been waiting two long years to get this opportunity and it has finally come. This is a promising career for me and I can't afford to miss out on this chance. I'm excited to get this chance of a lifetime for this internship, wish me luck, I'm going to need it!You can also contact me with my new aim screen name, JRtheWookiee Support These Bands!
