 Okay, to start, I don't have a band. I'm a solo artist but god damn, would I like a band. So, I'm working on that but I think I'm going to wait a little bit and work on my songs and singing first.
I'm a 16 year old from NY, Long Island, a terrible place to live...don't ever move there...ever. I go to a kick ass high school and I know a lot of people there.
I've been playing guitar since June of '04 and I started because of my new-found of Nirvana. Kurt Cobain is a big influence of mine. I love his style and his emotion. I try to implement that in my songs but I don't do it as well as him.
When I first started playing, I tried to make Nirvana style music but lately, I recently discovered I like playing pop rock music like Green Day and Weezer. I try to make my songs really catchy.
My other influences include:
Nirvana
Green Day
Weezer
Local H
The Murdocks
Sugarcult
Oasis
Goo Goo Dolls
Foo Fighters
The Cure
The Ramones
The Fratellis
Pop Rock songs in general.
Yeah, that's about it. Oh yeah a couple more things:
The gear:
I have a 25 Watt Fender Frontman Solidstate. It's very nice.
I use a Marshall Channel Switcher instead of an distortion pedal.
I have two pedals but I don't use much anymore: A Boss SD-1 Super Overdrive Pedal. It's pretty cool for what it does and serves me well because I use...a lot of distortion and I have a Boss CH-1 Super Chorus but I don't use it as much but I use it for a couple of my songs' solos.
I have a beautfiul Ibanez acoustic electric that I use for all of my new recordings and I love it.
I have an okay Palmer Company No-Name brand acoustic guitar. It's okay but I wish I had an acoustic electric. Also, it's huge, I can reach past maybe the 14th fret on it. That sucks.
I have an amazing electric though. I love it. It's an Eleca Sunburst Strat-copy single coil guitar. I can easily see myself using it forever.
