Thanks again for the warm welcome all! It's nice to join a group and not have the feeling of --->  A bit about me before I'm old news: 24 years old, US citizen, have degrees in English and Guitar. Former college English teacher and tutor, staring my first year studying law this fall. HUGE bookworm and music junkie! I love fantasy series: George R.R. Martin's Song of Fire and Ice, Jordan's Wheel of Time, the Riftwar Saga by Raymond Feist, Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth, The Belgariad by David Eddings, and of course Tolkien. Tales of the supernatural and macabre: Poe and Lovecraft and Stephen King, Algernon Blackwood, Ramsey Campbell A smattering of popular science by Carl Sagan and Richard Dawkins, the philosophy of Nietszche, Camus....Hemingway, Shakespeare... hell, you name it! I play acoustic and electric guitar, double bass, banjo, and once upon a time, the trombone. Random pic:  Me on double bass (high school days) Being a guitarist I'm a bit biased towards music showcasing that instrument. First and foremost, I'm a metalhead. I love Sweden for no other reason than the best metal comes from that country! Opeth, Amon Amarth, Arch Enemy, Bloodbath. Add to that Metallica and Black Sabbath, power metal like Blind Guardian or Dragonforce. The flipside to all this headbanging is acoustic guitar stuff by Kaki King, Don Ross, and Antoine Dufour, to name just a few. I also mellow out with classical compositions by Ravel or Satie, and get taken on journeys through musical soundscapes with Stravinsky or Mussorgsky. Baroque lute, harpsichord...again, you name it! Can't forget the magic of composer Kirill Pokrovsky ;D Gaming for me is typically limited to computer RPG's, of either the action kind (gotta love those dungeon crawls) or the more in-depth, 'true' kind. Divine Divinity, The Witcher, Diablo 2, Dungeon Siege II, Planescape: Torment. I post on a handful of forums, all gaming ones except this one. Random stuff: I'm an atheist but I get something close to a spiritual feeling from experiencing nature and contemplating the wonder of the universe. I've spent an entire summer devoted to lucid dreaming - amazing phenomenon!! I lost 70 pounds two years ago by following a low-carbohydrate diet with no adverse effects whatsoever. Enough rambling! That's me condensed to a post. Have a cake, everyone!  (but I won't...,,well maybe a tiny slice) |

Simply amazing. I have recordings of John Williams playing, but seeing him adds another dimension. And that hall he's playing in! No fake reverb effects added here!

Wow, thanks for that introduction!  It's very late so I didn't get to dig through all your links, but will come back. ;D A guitar fan,. perhaps would you enjoy this link if you don't know the guy already: Erik Mongrain (sending you directly to his clips page). The way he uses his guitar is quite cool and out-of-norm; I meant to post that at some point but didn't yet... Until now.  I'm much less into music, games and books these days than I used to, but who knows, interests can come and go.  |
