Hi folks,

Just a quick hello and a little about myself....

An aging rocker of 45 years old... started playing rock and metal only 5 years ago, after a long history of playing jazz trumpet! Yes I just confessed to that

Addicted to shredding... playing metal is my "therapy" after a long day in the office.

Looking forward to being a member.

Monty

Welcome! The old guard will be glad to have you here!

Jazz trumpet, eh? Small change of genre there

Yeah my parents were into jazz piano and I played brass for more years than I care to remember. The great thing is I had no problems with music theory when starting the guitar.

Always been a closet metal fan - even sneaked out to see some early Anthrax after playing a recital in a local church.

Metal guitar and brass instruments aren't so weird, I spent 10 years in a brass band, have played in big bands and full orchestra's, have grade 8 cornet and own a late 1979/early 1980 Vincent Bach Stradivarius trumpet.

Ah I too.... started in a brass band and had a B&H Sovereign (Large Bore) and also reached grade 8.

Glad to hear brass and metal guitar aren't so weird

At least you don't play a woodwind instrument. Yes, no one here would be guilty of that.:ugh:

 

[MontyW]

Hell no - not guilty of playing woodwind.

 

[Helter Skelter]

Geez. You didn't have to agree so emphatically.

Not that I play a woodwind... or anything... :ugh:

 

[MontyW]

Ah I used to be married to one LOL

 

[Leon]

I played the sax all through school.

Hell, I think Shannon plays all the woodwinds :lol:

 

[Helter Skelter]

:rofl: At least I'm not the only flautist here, then.

 

[James]

Hell, I think Shannon plays all the woodwinds :lol:

I hear his specialty is Donnie's pink oboe though :agreed:
