Played guitar since I was 7 years old (which currently means for 16 1/2 years), also (try to) sing, and I have been into audio engineering for about 5 years or so now. I play lead guitar (hate the phrase as both guitarists play leads) in a band, whom I get my username from - Disarm Goliath - and that's about all I can be bothered to write here for now. Oh, and I'm the grumpy moderator of the Recordings Forum here on UG (MatrixClaw is the cheerful one, and jof1029... well, he has a blue name which makes him special!).
