My name is Alex, and I've been playing guitar for seven years. I've finished two years of a Bachelor of Music degree at the University of Western Sydney, leaving one more to go with a fourth year Master of Secondary Teaching.
I'm a fan of abstract and surrealist art - particularly Wassily Kandinsky's work - and I've been devoting a lot more time to studying music theory, sight-reading and orchestration as-of-late.
I'm open to all sorts of music, so if you ever have any suggestions for a band, artist or composer to check out though, please feel free to fill me in on the goods!
I've been less active in the forums lately, but if you're ever up for a casual chat, or would like to ask me anything, you're always more than welcome.
