About Me

Create or get your
very own MySpace LayoutsI use to sing in bands (MIMIC - BEYOND GLORY - WHILE HEAVEN WEPT _NC) but now I focus mainly on playing guitar. I began taking lessons from the metal shred goddess Dena Turk and have been passionate about the art of shredding ever since. I recently played guitar in the super bad ass band A VISION GROTESQUE. www.myspace.com/AVISIONGROTESQUE. I find people who consider themselves "mean" to be amusing. Typically those people are just stupid. Having a guitar definitely does not make you a guitarist. Any one who thinks you have to conform or look a certain way to play music should not even consider themselves an artist. Anything else you'd like to know just private message me.
