[-Davo]

I took lessions from 1995 till 1998. I quit guitar to start saxophone (tenor), I played that for 3.5 year from 1998 till mid 2001 when I quit the school band.
But, I re-started guitar in 1999 (year 8) re-learning all my theory, basic chords etc, started listening to offspring and metallica.

I was mainly self taught from that. The only thing I got from x amount of years getting lessons was basic thoeory, chords, and song structure, not to mention basic guitar theory. I taught my self distortion, pickups, strings, techniques like palm mute, tap, sweep, harmonics (natural and artificial, also tap harmonics), finger streatching, bar chords, tab theory, writing in tab, transposing etc.

Over all, playing for about 10 years. And I'll never give it up.

It was hard at first, but practising 7 days a week for about 4 hours each day, you kinda get better!
