Please allow myself to introduce...myself

[johnnyb333]

My name is Johnny B. I signed up with taxi in October. I am 28 from Louisiana and have been playing guitar going on 18 yrs. I always focused on song writing, (not solos and shredding), playing by ear and tablature. I just started learning to read actual music notation as I have been studying music theory over the last few months in hopes to broaden my versatility and strengthen the skills I have already learned. I actually have already posted both of my forward successes on the forwards forum but felt I should probably introduce myself. Thanks to everyone who replied to my posts!!! This is defintely the most positive and friendly/inviting forum I have been apart of. Please feel free to check out my songs at www.taxi.com/johnnyb333 and let me know what ya think!! All criticism and compliments more than welcome. On a side note, you might notice I follow my name with the number 333, this is a number I have seen consistently all my life. So much so I have tattooed it on my right forearm with the belief that it is a sign, and hope someone will see it and enlighten me. If it means anything to anyone else please let me know. I know, kinda strange, but it's important to me.DO IT UP!!!!!

Great music 333! I'm playing it now...this is going to make all this paperwork alot easier this afternoon.Welcome to the forum...it truely is a great spot to learn, share, and (if you hit it hard enough) succeed. Give it everything man!!P.S. Nice vibe on "Bury Me"...is that your vox on "Pin Stripes?"

Groooovy, BABY!!!!

Thanks devin. Yeah, those are my vox on "Pin Stripes" and "Rx Airlines" (vocal mix). I don't feel my vox are my strong point at all so I don't apply them often. Usually the music inspires the lyrical ideas for me, they stand alone just fine. But other times the lyrics inspire the music and I feel compelled to handle up!

Hey lyric boy, you either caught my Austin Powers quote, or you truly are the cats pajama's!!Nice to meet ya, guv'nor!

Thank you Dave. I think the hairs on my head are numbered at this point as well, so I figure if I am gonna do it, I'll make it a party.

I can't imagine what "Frank The Farmer" looks like based on the music I heard but I think I found a picture of his awesome tractor...Frank could do some major damage with that thing! Glad you're here...Dave

I welcomed you to the forums on one of your forwards posts, but since you started a more "formal" thread, I thought I'd say hello over here as well. As you've already noted, this is a very friendly and inviting forum. I'm sure you'll enjoy it here, and I personally am glad to have another rocker who's not afraid to throw down some monster riffs - Big Blueps - love the Austin Powers quote
