Attitude
Very committed and good with people. Advanced skill level, capable of sweep picking and some sweep tapping, and fast alternate picking up and down scales up to around 170 bpm. Good theoretical understanding of scales, arpeggios and modes, with the ability to develop solos and improvise. Very communicative and good with people, school does take up some of my time, but I'm flexible.
Influences
Nightwish, Sonata Arctica, Wintersun, Dream Theater, Symphony X, Children of Bodom, Seventh Wonder. Looking for an elegant yet powerful epic symphonic sound that evokes a lot of emotion, complete with complex yet accessible solos on both keyboard and guitar, like those found in Children of Bodom, Seventh Wonder and Dream Theater. Clean vocals and a good keyboardist are a must.
Equipment
ESP M-1000, Roland CUBE Street, Boss Metal Zone, Boss RC-30, possibly a MacBook Pro.
