I started learning in 2000 I think, but it wasn't until around 2004 that I began taking a serious interest. I'd already been learning Piano for years, but now began to follow guitar as my main instrument of torture. Around that time I began to develop a taste for the harder rock, and eventually metal through my Uncle's copy of Metallica's 'S & M' live with the Symphony Orchestra, as well as a deep appreciation for the Classical disciplines.
The discovery of Dream Theater's 'Scenes From A Memory' was my first taste of really virtuostic metal, and opened up a whole new world with the introduction of Progressive-Metal. This lead to other similar bands such as Symphony X and Opeth, as well as to many virtuoso shred guitarists such as Steve Vai, Tony MacAlpine, Jason Becker and Marty Friedman.
The next step in my musical journey was when I began taking Classical Guitar lessons about halfway through 2005. I also began to appreciate Jazz and Fusion, which branched into the more extreme form of Tech-metal, with bands such as Spiral Architect, Spastic Ink, and guitarist Ron Jarzombek being the main influences there.
2007 I completed a Diploma in Classical Guitar at The Elder Conservatorium of Music in Adelaide, and I'm now working full-time at my family's music store 'Harrison Music' as well as teaching 10 or so students. I'm also starting lessons in the Jazz/Rock/Fusion area of guitar, as well as hopefully becoming more involved in playing in various bands of the progressive genre.

H. Jackson Brown: Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent. Most talents are, to some extent, a gift. Good character, by contrast, is not given to us. We have to build it, piece by piece -- by thought, choice, courage, and determination.
