ARE YOU READY TO ROCK! *cues Hello There by Cheap Trick*

Ah, now that I got some good old rock in me, I suppose I'll introduce myself. My name is Zal(short form for Zalfor), a 20-year old musician of sorts, with my main interests being electric guitar(thank god for cheap Chinese ripoffs) and singing in my falsetto voice to any and all of the gifted vocalists of our time. Music has always been my one and only addiction, something I've never been able to live without on a daily basis to remind me that life is here, life is worth living, and beauty is all around us. That is me is also what music is, something that is an essence of basic human nature that pleasures all our senses at once and makes us feel alive or dead inside. It all depends on your state of mind.

Other than music though, I'm a Canadian university student learning Mechanical Engineering. You would think that with an addiction as strong as I have I would've went into music, but I'd rather know less about my styles than knowing fully my talents or how much better then musicians are than me. I'm not in music to have a competition after all or get a degree, I'm just in it to have some fun and learn slowly along the way. Also, I never truly grasped the reasoning behind going to music university, most of the major artists(who don't have music majors) get songwriters and other composers to create the lyrics, rhythm and beats for all their songs. Those are the people you see raking in the cash while the guy with the music degree is writing the most beautiful lyrical delight you will never hear because it will never be picked up into the mainstream.

Oh boy, I'm running long here. Oh well, if you've read this long, I thank you. I hope I can be a useful contributor to this forum
