I start to play gtr in a age of ten...(i'm 41 now)i remember that my mama was worried...heh,heh(now i know,why)i guess she knows that boy has found he's"thing".My friend play me some vinyl records...those same bands are still my favorites,old school stuff...Led Zeppelin,Rush,Jimi Hendrix,Black Sabbath,Lynyrd Skynyrd,Deep Purple...etc.First school bands were couple of years later...later i move into big city and got a job from Funk Rock band .They got already record deal and gigs around the country in best venues...things go pretty well in radio and my father and mother take my playing
hobby more serious when they see me playing in TV :-) few years later i left band in the middle of best success...i want to change my life and got more into spiritual things in life.It was right move...i go back in garage bands playin country and blues...small gigs,i start to make music in my home,using tape recorders...drum machine and bass.It was great time.
I learn to play all instruments in that period and i check all kind of music.About ten years later i start to do things professionally...playin several cover bands,i start to teach kids to play and buy more recording gear.Today my work includes mixing gig's and teaching six days a week.
In ten years i have done lot's of songs and cover gigs...2007 came this internet music thing.It has give me whole new dimension of making music.
Finally i start to use PC in recording.Things go pretty smoothly now...learning curve was pretty hard.CGDC-J has been big part of my music life lately.Still,i make own things too...basically i am still blues based rock player who wants to try found new dimensions of makin music.
I listen mostly very smooth and relaxing music nowdays...heh,heh...i hear metal and hard rock in my work all the time!I teach kids play mostly classic hard rock...Black Sabbath,Deep Purple,Jimi Hendrix,Cream etc...my favorites...and their too,as soon as they start to play those classic songs...it feels awesome!!!
Now i have start to miss on the road again...fire still burns ;-)
