Hello all,
I've made a few posts over the past few months but never thought to give an introduction. But now I plan on posting more often, since I've decided to avoid other places that have too much of a Jim Jones-esque vibe
My name is Joe, I'm 26 years old. I've been playing guitar for 13 years. I started on a Strat copy but drooled over the Mustangs and Jags I'd see in the hands of Sonic Youth and Kurt Cobain. At first I just thought they looked cool, but these days I prefer them (along with SGs) for their sounds and feel. I've had a couple JMs, a mustang, Jag, and two Jag-Stangs over the years, but sold them for one reason or another. I'm currently working on designs for a Custom Jag and Mustang (not sure which I'll do first) to replace the Jaguar I sold to RumorsOfSurf in a fit of unemployment.
I listen to all kinds of music, but lately have been on a big Velvet Underground and Television kick. Sonic Youth is my favorite band. I don't play in a band anymore, but do write and record my own songs. When I have enough that I'm happy with I might start playing out again.
Anyway, this is a nice forum, I'm glad I found it.

All this sounds very familiar to me... I could have wrote this actually .magnificent studios wrote: I listen to all kinds of music, but lately have been on a big Velvet Underground and Television kick. Sonic Youth is my favorite band.

What kind of music are you doing ?
If there's a way to hear it online, let us know (and maybe put the link in The OffsetGuitars Forum Members Music Catalogue --> index.php?topic=5814.0)
Glad to have you here.
Once you're lost in twilights's blue, you don't find your way. The way finds you...

Re: A belated introduction
Thanks for the welcome guys.
Koyl, I do have a couple songs posted on MySpace. It's myspace.com/projectmagnificent. I have a few new songs I've held off on recording cause I want to get an electronic drum kit to give it a more organic feel. The drums on "New Devices" are a machine I programmed. I'll probably end up posting acoustic/vocals demos like "Free Thrills" in the meantime.
