Bio:
Eons ago I used to play covers of my rock gods alone or in a band. Always playing home.

Some time ago I was looking for some baroque guitar music I could download to listen in my car and found MJ. thetiler and michael2 were my favorites from the start, but then I found so many other incredible musicians here.

I think I wanted to be part of MJ since then. Well, I needed a Mac for a start. I bought one for an unrelated reason (mmmh), but I needed a trigger (check the first song I uploaded to know the whole story), and here I am.

Music Background I would like to say all the bands and musicians I like are influences, but to be an influence I should have been able to absorb and then embed something from them in the music I make. But those guys are so good!. Rephrasing a comedian 'I'm not worthy!'

These are the musicians I like the most. I leave for you to figure out which ones are actually influences after listening to my music (ok: basically Beatles, Zepp, Doors, Floyd), the others let's say are 'future influences'.

Beatles, Vox Dei, Pappo's Blues, Pescado Rabioso, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabath, Jimmy Hendrix, Pink Floyd, King Krimson. Jethro Tull, Cream, Focus, Frank Zappa, Mike Oldfield, Neil Young, Mahavishnu ... , The Doors, David Bowie, The Cure, The Clash, Depeche Mode, Sumo, ... , Divididos, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Metallica, Nirvana, Sound Garden, Pearl Jam, Audioslave, Nine Inch Nails, Rage Against The Machine, Deaftones, Tool, Korn, System of a Dawn, Rammstein.

I also like barroque music, modern tango (Piazzolla), folklore (Ariel Ramirez, Jaime Torres, Mercedes Sosa), some jazz (Keith Jarret, Path Metheny).

Music Skills I can play rhythmic guitar and make non-acrobatic solos (more Gilmour-ish than Vai-ish). I like to sing, can play a basic style of bass and I know how to program some drums. I play some keyboards, mainly for sequencing, but sometimes I can play simple songs on it too.

All the time learning about everything related to music and home recording.
