Hi There

Johann

Hi Everyone,
I’ve been playing guitar on and off for a while. So kind of a newbie. ☹
We have decided to startup a band, just for the fun of playing. Hopefully we can turn it in to something worthwhile.
I decided to join the forum because it looks like the people on the forum are friendly and also seem to give proper advice to guys like me.
Looking forward to be chatting to everyone.

Have a good one ! ?

Hi Johann and welcome. Come to the Dark Side, welcome to the machine, c'mon in... the water's fine, we have cookies, etc...

Gray - thanks for the phrase: "Uber Noob" - has a nice ring to it. I may have to write a piece of music to that. ? I have a few similar phrases stored up waiting for me to finish the music for: Raucous Interruptus - quiet fingerstyle piece with guitar synth pad, One Lone Banana (solo fretless piece) and Adventures in Shrubbery (TBA). ?

Only if you pay me royalties. SAMRO’s got my back… way back. ?

Oh bugger, I was scared you'd say that.

SAMRO’s got my back… way back. ?

From recent discussion, I was under the impression that SAMRO were laying claim to something a little bit lower than musicians backs. Maybe something on the other side of y'all too ?

...way back

Like the cookies ... ?

Thanks, for the warm welcome guys.
Favorite bands would be Metallica, Nightwish, Breaking Benjamin, Dragonforce, Pink Floyd, The Eagles, Bon Jovi, Prime Cirle, Seether, ……… basically I listen to everything , depended on my mood.. When it comes to influence on my music, well that can be anything,
Gear wise is as follows :
Guitars : 2 x Ibanez Guitars, 1 Squire strat, Can’t remember for the life of me what the model number are. Will post pics of them.
Amp : Fender FM212R
FX : Boss GT 8 Pedal, and the Boss DR-880
Just got back from Marshall Music, was thinking of buying a ESP Eclipse, and I was also checking out the Marshall valve amps, something like a TSL602 or TSL 100.
On the band side of things, we’re just a couple of guys getting together to jam for the fun of it. We still take it serious , so hopefully we can get something going on the SA Rock scene.
I Think SA can do with a little more rock bands….
