Hey, Hello from the southern part of the Netherlands. I got to this site cause Kalle from Sweden metioned it, I looked around and felt... well let's join the fun.

My nick ? :D I'm blind on one eye and a lefty so that's a easy one
Music ? Slow Blues and ballads.

gear ?
My guitars

My amps

The Yamaha is more or less only a cab for the Blackheart
My music :) ? http://www.soundclick.com/halfblindlefty

Ok,

Before this is seen as a Spammy post. I strongly feel that the one single thing thing that really tells something about who or what I am, is my music.
I'll give (those with the patience to go trough all of them) 3 songs that together tell the tale of who HBL is quite well.

Blues to be (SE)
This is one of the songs I like most myself, played over a backtrack I stumbled upon on the Internet. There are some timing issues, but the song means to much to me to re-record

Leaving spaces
After a long work day I was havin'a couple of beers grabbed my tokai, fired up this backingtrack and my Cybertwin. Let the music sink in a went with the flow and played what I felt should be played.

Alone in the crowd

Do I need to tell you folks I'm a Slow Blues addict :wink: well you're in for a supprise :shock: I love many kinds of music, I don't play all of them however. The next one is a type of song, - a 70's / 80's rock ballad- that fits my taste for what I like to play quite well.

Edit: I used my Greg Bennet Avion AV3 LH for this one

Hope you like it a little.

I love to play and do collabs, however I'm waiting for surgery on both my hands so..... Who knows what will happen.

Saying hi! :D You might be below sea level, so stay high and dry. Keep an eye on the dikes, no pun.

Nice Epi Dot, and a little of everything, with the major sound types covered, and as left as they can be.

What model of Fender Strat? A Classic 60's? Sweet. And tell us about the Tele. Welcome. Good tip from Kalle. :wink:

Thanks guys :)

The Tele.... :) is a cheapo -used- Stagg T300 SB LH, I got from a Ebay alike site for ~ $95 for a guitar,a guitarstand, a gigbag, Korg tuner and a cable.
I wasn't expecting to much from it, just a beginner guitar... I had to get used to her ultra low action and flat radius. She makes me tend to play to fast....For a "playground guitar" she sounds quite nice.
I'm going to be modding this one to pieces :)

She sounds like this : http://soundclick.com/share?songid=7805954
I even created a picture based Youtube movie for this one afterwards.

Mhh I notice I forgot to mention I used my Greg Bennett Avion AV3 LH on "Alone in the crowd".

The Strat isn't a Fender... That is my trusty and precious '84 Tokai Goldstar sound Stratocaster, the guitar I play the most.
I wouldn't trade her for no other guitar, she stays forever. I love her feel and the sound.

btw: I life just above sealevel :mrgreen:
