Leaving my mark here

Post Reply New Topic

So strangely enough, a combination of StumbleUpon and Google Searching has brought me here, so I thought I'd join this fine community.

To start off, my name is Joshua, last name Conner. To answer your question, yes, I do have relatives named John and Sarah, so hit me with your best Terminator jokes (I dare you). I am a 22 year old with a BA in Video Game Design, completed in 2.5 years, and yet can't find a job in my field. I've been diagnosed with Asperger's back in high school, so 4 years? I currently live in a small town in South Carolina with my family until I figure out what my next move is.

My hobbies? I'm a gamer nerd. Most of my time includes sitting in front of the tele with a controller in my hand giving a 12 year old a lesson in FPS'n. I am also a self-taught guitarist preferably in the rock and metal genres and a lil bit of blues. Granted I'm no Dave Mustaine or Stevie Ray Vaughn, but I'm working towards that goal. I'm not bad of an artist either... Though I haven't practiced in a good while and more than likely my artistic abilities have suffered because of it. I do have a deviantArt in which I rarely update under the name TheGreenGiddly if anyone's curious (first time posters can't put in urls, I guess).

I'm more or less considered a bit of a loner, and have only a handful of friends I keep touch with. I don't have any trouble meeting people, it's just finding people who have an understanding of how I work and feel and vice versa, which more than likely drew me here, someplace with a sense of understanding where I can be comfortable of expressing myself.

I'm new here too, but Ima say hello anyways
I play guitar,
my sister lives in south Carolina,
and I also have a deviant art account. haha

and Joshua Conner, you can't trust the metal. Xd

Sick. What kind of axe do you use and style of play?

You got a dArt? Send me a friend invite yo!

And contrary to popular belief, believe in the Metal and the Metal will reward you kindly. \m/

Welcome!

I play acoustic mostly, I have a baby Taylor, and I love it.
I love the electric too, but I don't enjoy setting it up lol.
I play a lot of classic rock, reggae, and Death cab for cutie,
and I make up some jazzy rhythmic stuff with lots of pull offs, and reggae strumming,
I'm a finger-picker for the most part.

I was going for a terminator joke when I said don't trust the metal haha.

I have a Peavey Raptor Electric that's been through hell and back, at least the inside wiring is. I learned the hard way when letting kids near my things. The kid tried to smash it and it jumbled the insides up. It works now, but every now and the I have to tweak it so there's less static feedback. I plan on getting a better axe once money isn't an issue. Maybe an Ibanez 7-String...

I enjoy playing classic rock, but I'm more metal head than anything. Mixing the old like Metallica, Ozzy Osbourne, Iron Maiden and Slayer with the new like Trivium, As I Lay Dying, Meshuggah, and Alter Bridge, while incorporating some of my own style of play. Mostly I play Drop D or C, but I can also shred in E if the situation calls.

One of these days I need to sit down and actually learn to be more efficient in the finger-picking technique. I suck at it, honestly. lol

By the way, that joke is much more original than what I normally hear, so props. XD
