One day over the summer I was over my friend Neal’s house, and this kid John came over. I was playing guitar and he thought I was good so he asked me if I wanted to join his band. So I said yes. Then the next weekend I took my guitar and stuff to his house and we jammed. The problem was the drummer quit and so did our basest. So me and john worked hard and went through a lot of people to get this band together. We have been putting together songs and practicing a lot. We have a gig July 1st at Angola Marina.
I am the lead guitarist and back up vocals. John Barlow is our lead vocalist; he helps me write guitar parts. Our drummer Mike Ash is really good and is the reason we got the gig. Now this guy Jarret plays base but he might not because he’s getting a job but he’s still going to play at the gig. Skolding is currently looking for a rhythm guitarist.
Our first song is called “Incubator.” Now we are working on this song called “Shadows.” This song has so many solos and insane guitar parts. We are only finished the intro and the chorus, but it has insane part that had for me to play. I play a lot of one handed things or 2 handed tapping in that song.
I have many influences such as, Slipknot, Buckethead, The Devil Wears Prada, Korn, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, As I lay Dying, Coheed and Cambria, Marilyn, Manson, Metallica, System of a down, Black Sabbath, The Grateful Dead, Van Halen, not Van Hagar, and a lot more. Basically rock and metal
The guitar I have is a B.C. Rich Warlock with Ernie Ball strings. I have standard B.C. Rich humbuckers. But I am going to get Seymour Duncan blackouts.
