Well, it's not really MySpace, but it's the ultimate-guitar.com equivalent:http://profile.ultimate-guitar.com/Bonsaischaap/It basically has some song ideas, riffs and technique samples.

Wat strings do you use?

I have a thing for light strings.I mostly use D'addario '9s, but have guitars with Fender, Martin, DR and Ernie ball strings as well; I guess I have a hard time making up my mind when it comes which brand is best.

I'm looking for an Excalibur Surfreter, preferably mainland Europe.

Sounds & Videos
