I joined GFSA in August and just didn't get to introducing myself.
I am Adriaan A.K.A Attie, AD, AT...
My excuse for being so late with my introduction is that I was really busy with my final year project in electronic engineering and took part in a show "Boerebarok" where inexperienced musicians try to deliver a professional product. Just too much at once, but luckily it is over now and I sit at home waiting for companies to reply.
I live in Centurion have been playing for 9 years now. The genres I mostly listen to are power-metal, nu-metal, blues, funk and a little jazz. I like to mix them all up as you will notice from my list of guitar influences. Mostly I play at church services.
Major influences are:
- Mike McCreedy and Stone Gossard - Pearl Jam
- Tom Morello - while he was playing for Audioslave
- John Frusciante - Red Hot Chili Peppers
- Mike Einziger - Incubus
- Tom Morello - while he was playing for Audioslave
- Angus Young - ACDC
- Jimi Hendrix
