Music, fortunatly, runs in my family. My dad was classically trained, and then went into contemporary, played jazz for a long time, so he was always trying to get me intersted as a child. He loves keyboard and is getting a Roland soon which im looking forward to hearing. He also played mainly bass in a few bands (like the Freeloves
) when he was younger.
I settled on guitar - would not listen to him or bother to learn any theory. Never too late to start though i guess. But in the last 15 years i've been lucky to get better as an ear player.
Been in a couple of bands. First one was country (yuk) but about the only thing going out here. Second was in Brisbane, a cover band, playing foo-fighters, deftones....heavy stuff.
But these days, me and dad, and a friend from town get together and play blues. Thats the best for me, because your free to express yourself wherever the fancy takes you.
Love alot of new bands, heavy stuff. hehe
Idols though include Eric Clapton, HENDRIX!!!, and, of course - Stevie Ray Vaughn, wish he was still with us
