Hey there,

Ive been knocking around here a few days now. Loads of interesting posts.

Im an English teacher in Japan and I play guitar in a rock band. We just started, and its my first band. Ive been practicing hard for about 6 months on the guitar now and want to keep it serious. Im learning from a jazz improv book but I have lots of little questions I wanna ask here too.

I also make music on my computer. Learning the ropes there aswell. The possabilities once I get my guitar and voice into the mix are endless. I just have to sort through mountains of technical crap first! Look 4ward to knowing u better

Hi Jack, and welcome to GN! Good luck with the "wading through the technical stuff" part.....any more complicated than point and click, and I'm sunk!

:D :D :D

Interesting background - good to have it on the board. Can't wait for you to post some experiences of playing in a band in Japan.

Welcome to GN!

Nice, I've always been really interested in Japan. I've wanted to start learning the language, maybe by taking a college course, but haven't gotten to it yet. I'm an anime and video game fan, some of the music for cartoons and games is incredible, have you gotten into playing any of that style of music?

Regardless, I'd be very interested in hearing what you've been playing.

It's a dry heat!
