Return Of The Blog

I'm awful at going through with something I start, and consequentially, it's been months since I first posted here.
However, this is now going to be linked to my other sites, and hopefully I'll be using it as a "news" feed, kind of thing.
So yeah, the news will be here.
Awesome.

Let's Begin.

If this is a musical progression blog, then you've missed loads already folks.
I started playing guitar 2 years ago, and recently noticed that I'm a bit good when I go for it, and I've been recording random riffs and doodles that I come out with.
Then, I thought I could do with some beats behind these, and started using my stepdad's electric drumkit. All experiments with the tracks I had before were LAME, but I've gotten a basic grasp of drumming, and go out there quite a bit to practice.
(you see, I'm self-taught on everything I play, I never could afford lessons)
Somewhere last year, we got a new music teacher, who really liked a program called Sony ACID Music Studio, and I started tinkering with samples to make phased out...genreless tracks that sound like a kid with ADD fiddling with every instrument ever.
This month, I started 6th form, and in free periods, I will head to the music room and play the £7000 worth of piano that we've got in there.
Honestly, that piano is freakin' sweet)
Anyway, I've learnt about 4 songs in the last two days on that beast, (although I had a grasp of piano last year, it's only now that I'm applying it) and playing Jeff Buckley's version of Hallelujah is such a good way to chill out after a day of lessons.
Anyway, hopefully soon I'll have cover videos out on YouTube and shit like that, so maybe you'll soon see all this for yourself.
For now though, check out these sites for an inkling:

I'm afraid I can't reply to anything you (if you exist) may send me on the myspace, I've forgotten which e-mail I registered it under =S
Cheers for reading (if you did)
Will post soon, hopefully.
