A Bit About Me:
I've been playing guitar for around 10 years and although for some of those I was just playing indie music, which isn't good for your guitar playing, over the past 5 years I have really got into complicated rhythm playing and soloing and my playing has got to quite a good standard. My aim is to have the rhythmic ability of guitarists such as Adam Jones from Tool and James Hetfield, combine it with the solo playing of Dimebag Darrel and Kerry King, add my own touches of Eastern music and Jazz to create a distinctive style of playing thrash which will be a big part of Farfallen's sound. This together with Alasdair's amazingly versitle voice and Tom's superb melodic thrash bass playing will make the new Farfallen something special. When I'm not playing guitar I like to play on the Final Fantasy games and also watch classic films. I also play in Heidigger.
