 Real Name: Kris Gaia Name: DigitalTrowa Age: 15 Location: Illinois Gear (your guitar, amps ect.): Squier Strat, 10 watt Squier amp, Epiphone Nuclear Extreme Favorite Music: An eclectic mix of things. Mostly support indie music. I enjoy hardcore and faster classical quite a deal. I'm not really adverse to any genre as a whole. Favorite Guitarists: Eh, don't have any favorites really. What you like to play: My own stuff. Again, no set style. Songs you can play: Most songs that involve power chording as the basis. Some Bright Eyes and other stuffs. Been to Any Concerts: Lots. I try to go to a show every week. Local bands, low covers, good times. When You Started (the guitar of course icon_wink.gif ): About 2 years ago. Bio: Not a whole lot to say about me. I'm just pretty desperate to get my friends to actually want to make music and play in a band. Until then, I do my thing solo. I really need to find a drummer at some point. Also, I need to remove a great deal of angst from the songs I write. It makes them quite crappy.

When You Started (the guitar of course icon_wink.gif ): would have been 5 years ago. Bio: Hm... Not much else to say about myself. I'm a pretty easy going guy with a fair grasp on reality (uncommon among some musicians) and I'm probably much more technical than I am musical or artistic. I've had some fun times in my school doing a recording arts program, and I'm looking forward to continuing a career as an Engineer in a studio somewhere. I'm also considering being a guitar tech, since I love taking apart stuff like that and getting into wacky guitar maintenace such as truss rod adjustments and intonation problems... oh well. I just keep on trucking and hopefully I'll stay happy

Real Name: Josh
Gaia Name: Impromptu
Age: 18
Location: Hermitage, Tennessee
Gear: ESP F-2005, ESP EC-50, Jackson DXMG, Cort M100, Fender acoustic, Kustom 15w, GR 60wRTubeSeries, Boss PSM-5, Boss NS-2 noise supressor, Boss DD3 digital delay, Boss Mt2 metal zone, Ibanez TS808 Tube screamer, MXR Distortion +, Ibanez vintage stereo chorus, DOD YJM308, Dunlop Crybaby classic wah
Favorite Music: Inspirational, celtic, metal, jazz, blues, cosmic shred, neo-classical, classical(baroque, romantic, renaissance), rock, symphonic, flamenco
Favorite Guitarists: Batio, Joe Satriani, Yngwie Malmsteen, Ryan Formato, Luca Turilli, John Petrucci, Steve Vai, Jason Becker, Andres Segovia and John Williams
What you like to play: Classical, neo-classical, metal, blues and rock
Songs you can play: Too many to note but mostly I play my own stuff. I used to play songs when I was studying musical pieces. I still do though.
Been to Any Concerts: None worth mentioning, just some local shows with hardcore and punk influenced musicians and such. Still good though.
When You Started: 15
Bio: Not much to note here either. I'm Josh. I started playing guitar when I was fifteen and I started on the influence of Nirvana and Kurt Cobain, mainly because I never thought I would be a good guitarist and everything else I'd ever done or attempted was left short-handed and I could never stay focused on one goal for too long. Kurt was my inspiration because as a beginner, I felt he provided me the courage to play what I wanted to regardless of how it sounded as long as I liked to play it. Along the line, music became more important to me so I delved deeper into the history, message, emotions and of course theory.
Allow me to add my own subject-
Desired Gear: Mesa/Boogie 4X12 cab, Mesa/Boogie Stiletto Deuce or Triple Rec. Jackson SL1 or ESP customshop icon_3nodding.gif
For those who don't know, my Gaia name was inspired by Schubert's "Impromptu in E sharp"
