Hey! I'm new here to this forum. I love to play guitar and listen to music (that's why I thought this would be a good forum for me), mainly hardrock, blues/rock and progrock (but I also listen to blues and other rock things such as psychedlic rock). I'm from Norway, were I live outside of a city called Stavanger. I'm 14 years old, and my interest for music mainly began to flower when I for real began to play guitar.
My favourite bands must be Free, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Led Zeppelin, Cream, Deep Purple, The Allman Brothers Band, Ten Years After, The Hellacopters, Junipher Greene, Aunt Mary and Titanic (+ Motorpsycho, Rory Gallagher and BigBang) and my biggest guitarinspiration's must be Paul Kossoff, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Duane Allman and Alvin Lee.
I also like to collect vinyl records (I don't got a huge collection, but it's growing).

I'm gonna try to make a list over bands I like
