Hey all, name is Pete with a number of little nicknames call me anything really, a name does not change a person.

so here goes my story, when i was really little, probably 5 or so my dad had seen an album that caught his eye, being a bit of a comic book buff seeing a CD with the magnificent creation of Galactus, The Silver Surfer (his favorite of all comic heroes), he purchased the first Joe Satriani to grace our family. There were hours i'd spend listening to some of those tracks loving Karma, Circles, Midnight, Always with me Always with you, Crushing Day, and of course Surfing with an Alien. Listening to that style of guitar, the technical aspects of them, and just how well it fit into the emotions and title of the song pushed me into what i now know and love. THE GUITAR! not sure when i first started but it was on a Peavey Falcon just kinda plucking strings in no particular manner than just plucking lows and barring in Drop D. Inspired by many artists of metal bands i enjoy presently i can't help but every time go into a Satriani Inspired riff. I'm still far to go as a guitarist and it's all self taught, yet the drive to play, i feel, has all extending from hearing the sounds and melodies Joe has expertly crafted, to which degree i am most grateful. While i still have been playing something Satriani-esque i still search for my own sound and style, though heavily dominated by his influence as it may be (he he he) as far as i've come as a guitarist, i'm still young (21) and haven't had any chance to play a crowd yet or even play a band that was going anywhere for that matter. so in search of more musicians to just jam with or take steps into the world of music i came here. I hope such experiences to be fruitful and wonderful not for myself but any yet to come.
