Greetings! I'm new here so a big hello to you all. I am an artist and photographer by profession, based here in Birmingham, UK. One of my main obsessions since the age of about 10 has been guitar. I've been playing seriously since I was about 13 (I'm now 35 and still not much better!). I also play drums and have been in god knows how many bands over the years, some good, some terrible!:rotflmao: My music tastes are extremely varied, guitar wise I'm probably obsessed with all the same things as everyone else, a quick list of some of my faves... Jimi, Clapton, Who, Led Zep, Zappa, Floyd, Stones, Bowie, ACDC, Smiths, Clash, Metallica, Oasis, Nirvana, Rage, QOTSA, etc etc
In recent years my interest in guitar and playing has changed somewhat... from playing anything and everything on whatever piece of crap guitar I could find - to just wanting to make wonderful and simple noise that sounds perfect to my ears... I suppose, like a lot of us, you could say I've become obsessed with 'tone'! This obsession has become very expensive over the last 5yrs, I've owned (and still own) some amazing amps... early JCM800s, JTMs, JMPs, original Champs, Cornfords, Mesas, and a 60s Twin, and I've lost count of the guitars I've owned!:thwap: Ironically, one of the best amps I have ever owned is also the cheapest - the awsome Epi Valve Jr! 40wFenders and 100wJCMs are great for gigs, practicing and more involved stuff but If I ever just want to plug in turn up and get all bluesy then its the VJ every time!
I was drawn to this site through my ongoing passion for the Valve Jr, but now I'm here and have had a look around I think it'll be a fantastic resource for everything else too, and for chatting to like-minded geetar nuts!
All the best everyone and probably speak to you soon :AOK:
