Hi I'm new - and all that.

So, where do I start...I've been interested in music for quite a short time (2-3 years), but my interest has picked up to the point where I've decided to not only listen to and trying to understand music, but to actually play and create it as well. So I've kind of inherited a guitar (the previous owner isn't dead but hasn't touched it for 10 odd years), started bleeding from my fingers, snapped a string, learnt a pathetically simple tune and bled some more.

My musical taste is very varied, to the point where it's easier to say what I don't like than what I do, so here goes Hip Hop, Rap, Death Metal...and that's about it. I am especially attracted to Italian music, and so names that really gets me going are Marco Conidi, Rino Gaetano, Francesco Gucchini, Laura Pausini and Andrea Bocelli. But my favourite artist of all time is Fabrizio de Andre, who I regard as the greatest cantautore (singer/songwriter) in history.
Lyrics are rather important to me.

Finally, some boring facts:

Age: 17
Country: Norway
Instrument: Steel-string guitar.
Been playing for: 2 weeks, 1&1/2 with 5 strings.

And a very important fact:
Favourite football team: AS Roma

So that's it, I guess.
