Hey everyone,
Here is, upon request, a little about me:
I'm a Yugoslav-born British-raised guitarist residing in Stockholm Sweden for the last 15 years(!). I've been playing guitar for about 14 of those years and got addicted to the instrument when I first heard Joe Satriani.
I'm pretty stoked to have found this community as well as others quite recently, as being a lefty guitar enthusiast can be lonely at times!
An introduction thread wouldn't be complete without a bunch of videos and music links, and I aim to please...
Here's a couple of clips of me playing some stuff by my favorite guitarists (pretty much the whole Shrapnel stable of artists, and then some!)

and some Rhode Island Shred:

And of course some original music:

I've also released a solo album which can be listened to on Spotify and all those other streaming sites! It's a bit of a dedication to all my musical heroes over the years. Hope you like it.

My favorite gear....pretty much anything that inspires me to play. I've owned a LOT of stuff over the years, but two guitars in particular have been favorites: Ibanez SA160QM (with a bunch of modifications I might add) and recently an ESP Horizon NTI - the latter feels like what I've been searching for my whole life, it's pretty much perfect.
Looking forward to talking guitars, gear and music (and dusting off my French as well!)
