About Me

First off, DON'T ADD ME IF YOUR ADVERTISING USELESS CRAP!!! The only advertising I do is for local bands. Anyways...The name's Jake. I'm 20. I live in Peoria. I'm in a band. My band is called Heresy. We split up a few months ago, but I am in the process of re-forming it. The sound is a thrash/death metal mix, but will soon be a death/black metal mix. By the way, I play guitar. I am proud to say that I play on Dean, Ibanez, ESP/LTD, Schecter, and Jackson guitars. I've been playing for about 6 years and by what everyone tells me, I'm really good, but I don't judge my playing. Other than that, I'm a metalhead who loves to go to concerts and rock the hell out.

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !
You scored as Classical Based / Virtuoso. This Type of Player is Usually Incredibly skilled and can listen to something and play it note for note, If experienced enough. Since this style of playing is so complicated it usually takes a determined person to even attempt it. They may also dislike current music due to its "lack of musicianship". But no matter what these players will always have a place due to there extreme versatility.
