About Wood & Metal
Hey there, I'm John! Pleased to meet ya!

I've been playing guitar since mid-2007, and I love it. It is also my desire to become a multi-instrumentalist. The other instruments I'm interested in include (but not limited to): harmonica, resonator guitar (A.K.A. Dobro), bass guitar, keyboard/piano, mandolin, the cowbell and banjo.

I can thoroughly enjoy almost all genres of music, but my favourite genre is probably the good ol' blues, be it acoustic or electric. Folk is a top favourite of mine too. However, whether or not I like a song usually just depends on the song itself. As in, just cause a song is bluesy doesn't mean I'll automatically like it.

I also really dig slide guitar, which is a fun style of playing guitar by having one of your fretting fingers inserted into a hollow, cylindrical object (such as a bottle neck) and sliding that up and down the guitar neck. It makes a really cool sound! Two white guitarists who can give excellent examples of this technique would be Rory Gallagher and Duane Allman. This technique was also commonplace among the black blues guitarists in the early part of the 20th century, like Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson, and Elmore James.

I also love to sing, though I'm not a very good singer. I also like to write poetry, when I'm inspired.

I'm also a follower of Jesus the Anointed One, God's Son, who I think is the wisest and greatest person who ever walked the planet. A personal dream & ambition of mine is to be a guitarist/songwriter/co-singer in a rock band because, to be honest, I'm not too happy with the current condition of Christian Contemporary Music. There are virtually no Christian blues-rock artists, there are almost zero Christian guitarists that young Christian guitar players such as myself to look up to, and not only that, but the songwriting is, on average, a bit on the weak side.

If I were to be in a band, it would be my desire to change that.

But first and foremost, I want to accomplish God's Will for my life, whether that means going into the music industry or becoming a missionary (which I already am at the moment, I'll explain in just a little bit) or whatever. As far as I'm concerned, if I'm not furthering the Kingdom of God, I'm wasting my time.

Religion (or whatever you want to call it) aside, I just really want to love others selflessly (like how Jesus did it; he wasn't always preaching to people 24/7) and try to make this world a better, cleaner, and more caring place. I also want to remind people that beauty (and good music for that matter) is in the eye (and ear) of the beholder. I try as best to my ability to love people of all creeds, colours, races, religions, ideologies, philosophies, sexualities and political parties, even though I don't always succeed.

My father is American, from Chicago, and my mother is English, from London, and I was born in Margate, in south-eastern England. I have one sibling, a sister. When I was 11 months old, my family and I moved to the Czech Republic as missionaries, and we lived there for 10 years, then we moved down to Bosnia, which was part of the former Yugoslavia. Then in the summer of 2008, we moved down to Montenegro, which is on the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea (to the right of Italy). So I've pretty much been a missionary my whole life!

This summer I'm planning on going to Tulsa, Oklahoma for Bible college! Yee-haw! I can't wait! The only bummer is that I'm going to have to cut my long hair, of which I'm so proud of. Boohoo!

I'll just grow a beard to make up for it. ;)

Without Love, you are nothing. (1 Corinthians 13)
The Truth shall set you free. (John 8:31-32, 14:6)
