In December 2006, I was exposed to a kickass game called "Guitar Hero". I remember; it was the Friday before Christmas of that year. The first time I laid my once-rapping hands on that guitar controller, the spirit of Rock n' Roll grabbed me by the... well... everywhere... and never let me go. From that point on, I started listening to Rock music much more often. Then, after listening to the popular Metallica song, "One", for the first time ever in April 2007, I just said "F%%% RAP!" and started listening to rock n' roll (at the time, mostly hair metal from the 1980s), and heavy metal exclusively. On the last day of school that year, I put on another show on Guitar Hero. It was only six months after I had just started playing GH, that I was already playing on Hard/Expert. I immediately became the best Guitar Hero in my school.

1. My Story
In December 2006, I was exposed to a kickass game called "Guitar Hero". I remember; it was the Friday before Christmas of that year. The first time I laid my once-rapping hands on that guitar controller, the spirit of Rock n' Roll grabbed me by the... well... everywhere... and never let me go. From that point on, I started listening to Rock music much more often. Then, after listening to the popular Metallica song, "One", for the first time ever in April 2007, I just said "F* RAP!" and started listening to rock n' roll (at the time, mostly hair metal from the 1980s), and heavy metal exclusively. On the last day of school that year, I put on another show on Guitar Hero. It was only six months after I had just started playing GH, that I was already playing on Hard/Expert. I immediately became the best Guitar Hero in my school.
Things would only get better from there. That summer, I started developing interest in the REAL guitar, and on my birthday, I got my first guitar and amp. It was a Field Green electric gutiar (one of those Les Paul rip-offs) and a Gorilla brand basic amp. After about two to three months of learning the instrument, I started coming up with ideas for songs of my own. One of these songs was "Rocker's Night Out (Next Day Hammered)", the story of a group of friends who get arrested for underage drinking and drunk driving. Another one of these songs is "A Summer in One Night (and One Party)", about a rocker who decides to throw a huge party on the last day of his summer vacation. It was - and still is - very exciting to come up with ideas for songs. When my sophomore year began, I was deep into rock and guitar. I was - and still am - thinkin' about formin' my own band. These thoughts had a serious impact on my grades that year and the next.
In November 2008, I ended up breaking my arm during gym, and was unable to play guitar for a couple of months. I still play guitar today. I haven't played GH in awhile, because my 360 is broken (video failure, not rrod). There's always Frets on Fire :).
Well, that's my story.
2. My Discography
Remember the song I told ya' about, "Rocker's Night Out"?
It's ALMOST finished.
It just needs vocals, then some final mixing in Audacity...

What's up Guitarists and Guitar Hero players alike.
I am a guitarist with 15 months of experience.
It all started when I first played Guitar Hero in 2006. I rocked.
After six months of playing, I got my first guitar and amp.
Now, after fifteen months of practice as of 10/30/08,
I got some songs to show you...
If you want to hear some of my guitarwork, here it is:
1. An original. I call it "Rocker's Night Out (Next Day Hammered)".

2. An instrumental cover of the Iron Maiden song, "Hallowed Be Thy Name", done to the best of my ability.

3. The instrumental re-do of my first song, "Rocker's Night Out." Because my original RNONDH sounded too much like JP's Livin' After Midnight, I re did it with a new verse, and solos, and the song's new key is F#. Still needs lyrics...

Wanna know how to do this???
Here is an In depth walkthrough on how to make songs like these...
Materials:
Hardware:
Computer with Windows Vista or XP (I use Vista)
Guitar (I use a Field Green Les Paul ripoff)
Amps (I use a Gorilla and RMS Amp)
Rock Band Drums
A USB Microphone
Software:
Sound Recorder for Windows
Audacity (Download:
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/∞)
An Audio File converter (I use Switch. Download:
http://www.nch.com.au/switch/∞. I use the free version.)
Drum Machine (Download:
http://andrewrudson.com/drummachine/main.php∞)
Procedure:
1. Record the guitar track
2. Turn all the levels on your guitar and amp except the bass and volume down and replicate a bass track.
3. Use Drum Machine with your Rock Band Drums and record the drum track. You may either download the DMR2WAV (same page as DM download) and convert the .dmr file into an .mp3, or use Sound Recorder to record the playback and save it as a .wav or .wma, depending on which version of Windows you have.
4. Use your audio file converter to convert the file formats to .mp3.
5. Use Audacity with the LAME MP3 encoder (download:
http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?lame_enc∞) to sync the tracks together (this may take awhile) and save it all as one .mp3.
6. Enjoy your very own one man band song!
There's more songs to come.
I'm always playing my guitar, and coming up with swell ideas. My tone might not be the best in the world, but I just wanna share my music with other people, and, yes, I'm working on that tone, too. As I just said, there are more songs to come in the very near future. Come by my wiki often.
Rock on!
