Hails from Aussie land lml

[Zakatron]

Hey People,
Just thought I'd introduce myself here on the forum of one of my guitar heroes lml.
I'm Zak from Adelaide, Australia. I practise guitar anywhere between 6-12 hours aday...Some days 17 lol.
I am studying on my own at the moment as my ex-guitar teacher is now in prison on 6 counts of rape which sucks. I am looking forward to Steve's lessons because I reckon he is the best teacher a student could have (no, I genuinly believe it).
My influences are- Jason Becker, Jeff Loomis (met him last sunday lml), Steve Smyth, Corey Grieve, Richie Kotzen, Darren McLennan and Graham Greene...Oh, did I mention Jason Becker? lol. If you know me, you'd know that I can rave on till tomorrow about Jason Becker.
Hope to have some great convos with you guys and to share practising tips and to basically have a good time.
Anyways, if you're on myspace, check my profile out, add me if ya want and we'll get chattin'.

Awe, man, you're making me blush over here!

Right on, Zak, keep an eye out. Geting The EssenEss Project album to completion is what I'm doing right now, and am definitely setting the start date for lessons at November 14th. More details to follow.

Hell Yeah, how could I forget the Esseness Project...I remember listening to the clip of "Just When You Think" for the first time...Man, I was in EUPHORIA... Man, I can't wait to hear the full version....BTW, just about to put that solo on my list on the "favourite solos" topic.
HAILS TO THE MIGHTY SMYTH

PS When I saw Nevermore on Sunday, when it came to the first solo of "Final Product", I could've sworn it was you playing...Chris nailed it on the head
