I just want to scream...hello!
 
Hi guys and gals,

My name's Jon and I live in Arlington, TX (originally from Scranton, PA.. If you've ever seen "The Office", you'll know that Scranton is where Dunder Mifflin is! LOL..it's not really there though!) Love living in Texas, but I hate the Dallas Cowboys with the fury of 1000 suns.

About me: I'm a guitar player/singer/songwriter/engineer/teacher. I've been playing guitar for about 17 years, singing for about 6, and playing in bands for over 12 years. I have a degree in Audio Engineering form Full Sail and worked as an Audio Engineer for a post production company for about 5 years before moving down to Texas. I'm in a band called The Liberty Underground and we released our first record in October 2013. It's basically a mix of 90's rock and metal...my biggest influences are Tool, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Metallica, and G'N'R. I also have been teaching guitar, singing, and home recording for the past 5 years in Scranton and now in Dallas at my company, DFW Rock Academy. I'm looking forward to chatting and shooting the proverbial with you guys/gals!

Other interesting factoids about me...I love the Pittsburgh Steelers and am a Penn State fan. Binge watching Netflix is pretty fantastic. I love dogs and I have 2: a German Shepherd mix (Dodger) who is my little buddy and a Pit-Bull mix (Siren) who's my little sweet pea. I also like long walks on the beach and soft whispers in my ear...hahahaha

Welcome.

You mentioned Netflix, what kind of shows do you watch?

Cool to see a member with some pretty hefty teaching credentials! If you're ever down to share music and have a friendly chat, plug.dj/musicbanter is a really great tool for getting to know people here and finding lots of new artists to check out.

Welcome to MB Jon!

Since this is a 'music' forum, I have to ask the burning question... what are some of your favorite bands/artists?

How about you? What do you watch?

I mainly just watch Law & Order, Supernatural, the Walking Dead, Star Trek: TNG, and I recently got into House of Cards, which I really like.

I also watch some 30 Rock, and SVU. I used to watch Parks and Recreation, but I've since gotten away from it for a reason I can't remember. I think I got distracted by Supernatural.

Welcome, look forward to talking guitars and music.

I knew I would forget a big one... House of Cards is phenomenal.

Supernatural is on our "to watch list"..I caught an episode on TV a few years back and it seemed up my alley. We're going through Bob's Burgers right now. I wanted to do a short sitcom because we just finished the entire series of 24. 8 seasons of 24 episodes...took us 2 months. We feel like we just got out of a long term relationship and we just want to play the field a little bit ! lol :)
