Hello to all! I've been lurking around here for a few weeks and thought I'd throw myself into the fray. 
Short introduction: My name's Brendan, and I'm a guitar player in South Orange County, CA. I'm 21 years old and have been playing guitar for 8 years. I currently play in two different bands, Peace Machine (progressive/heavy riff-rock) and The Jail House Rockers (classic rock, blues, jam), go to school, and work part-time as an office temp.
As a player, my main influences are Joe Satriani, Eddie Van Halen, Eric Johnson, SRV, David Gilmour, Dave Matthews, and Jimi Hendrix. Musically I like a LOT of different stuff, to the point where people think I'm skitzo. As a result I'm influenced by whatever strikes my fancy that day. I don't really like country-pop, pop-punk, emo and screamo, or black death metal and maybe polka but thats about it. I try to keep and open mind.
As far as my infatuations with MM's go... it started 4 years ago when I was getting unhappy with my Ibenhad... I mean Ibanez, and was lookign for something new. I happened upon a Silhouette special in White Sparkle at the local GC and didnt put that thing down until the store closed. I knew i had to have one. Unfortunately, I couldnt afford it at the time so I made do with a few strats until then. But I finally got my hands on a '95 Silhouette with a Floyd a few months ago and what can I say... I *heart* that axe. I'd love to get another hardtail one and an Axis when i get more $$ to spare. I do have a '95 MIM strat thats been totally bastardized ten times over and thats my other guitar (aside from my Seagull acoustic) but the MM has seen 90% of the play time since i got it LOL.
Just wanted to say hey to everybody. BTW, I used to work at a local Guitar Center and I remember talking to kbaim a lot when i was there. I remember one time he came in with his Morse model and I spent my whole lunch hour playing it (he was kind enough to let me) and just shooting the stuff about guitars with him. I wonder if he remembers me?
So greetings to all.... and here's a pic of my baby!
