I love my metal and I play the piano, guitar and drums. I'm in a prog metal band called Ophion and am studying jazz seperately in order to ultimately combine the two genres more effectively than has ever been done (ala Cynic/Atheist). At any rate, the alley of jazz/metal has not been explored to its fullest extent, and that is my goal. I'm hugely a tab reader for the guitar, so I am learning more theory and application of said theory. I can fluently and comfortably transition from many advanced guitar skills and am quite confident in my ability to sweep and economy pick, etc. Things I am working on now include refining my economy picking down the neck (from low string to high) and string skipping.
