Nominations:
-- I'd like to nominate Kor-Rune as an underdog. A young, talented prog metal guitarist with some serious recording chops. Very interesting compositions.
-- I'll also nominate myself as an underdog. However, I think my latest piece has 6 reviews, so--full disclosure--I may not completely fit the criteria on page one of this thread. My audio is available through the above link, or through my sig pic link.
Tell us about yourself: I'm a 28 year old law student, playing guitar and composing since 1992. I tend to gravitate toward prog metal and hard rock stylings, but also write and submit in other genres, including video game covers, jazz, classical, and miscellaneous. My current main gear setup is an Ibanez Prestige RGA121 through a Roland Cube30x amp, though I own a bunch of other guitars, and also sometimes use a Line6 Spider (I) amp. Bass is a Rogue bass through a small rogue amp. Also use Geniesoft (f/k/a/ Cakewalk) Score Writer for some midi work. Midi interface is a Tascam US122. I am a big follower of the review-and-review-alike philosophy, and am always looking for new artists to listen to.
Excellent thread--sorry that I'm just noticing it now.
