Music

It's a part of my life that I wouldn't want to miss. I love both listening and playing, but, depending on my mood, I prefer playing. I love to play keyboard but I don't have enough experience and skills to be good at it. Maybe the lessons I got as a kid gave me a sort of allergy for it at those days. Thanks to my mom and dad music was a sort of mandatory part of our youth. We were free to pick an instrument which we had to try for a year. I chose piano which should have been guitar. I went to the guitar a few years later.

Guitar

Like I said earlier, I feel more at home on the guitar. I gave myself an electric guitar for my 16th birthday with a book with guitar chords and started to practice. Using my tape deck as pre-amp, I was able to create a nice overdrive sound from my amplifier. Shortly after that I got myself a Maya Les Paul imitation which was a pretty good guitar. I upgraded that one with DiMarzio pickups and Schaller machine heads. With a zillion switches on it, I was able to create a wide range of sounds which made it a pretty versatile guitar. 

Through the years I bought different guitars which I sold later on because I simply didn't use them anymore. When I look back at that, I regret it a bit that I sold those. A black Fender Jazz Bass with a nice maple neck, a Fender Precision base which I got second hand and an Ibanez Strat imitation which I also upgraded with a set of DiMarzios.
