I started playing the acoustic guitar at the age of 12. Decided to pick up the keyboards back then, and then gradually while my taste for music evolved into rock, I decided to pick up the electric guitar. Been playing the electric guitar since I was 14, and love it. I also picked up a bass after I started writing on my own, I also know some basic drumming.
If you want anything metal count me in, as well as some folkish or glammish rock, or renaissance style like Blackmore's Night.

I usually like to contribute with people needing bass, electric guitar or hammond parts done. I also welcome people willing to help me with my own songs. I usually create intros or some riff and need help polishing and finishing songs. Been doing that informally thru the net since 1996, but indaba makes it easier.

Have been playing in bands since I was 14 (Im 25 now) , started out with a punk rock cover band, formed my own Thrash Metal band, then went from power metal to hard rock, goth metal and all in between.

By the heavy rhythm part do you mean the heavy metal type "trot" that was in the song? If so I really miss that part....it's part of what attracted me to the song! lol. If not, then by what do you mean? Would love to hear it if you still got it! }i{
Hey! I saw that you downloaded the vocals from Take the Pain Away. Would love to hear some of your ideas for this song! Hope to hear from you soon! }i{
I'm glad you liked the songs. If I was a better singer, the songs would be finished. It's frustrating when you can't sing your own songs, lol!
