Nickname:
LievenDV but actually it's Trash (Which i didn't pick on this forum; people might think I'mm all into "Trash metal" or something)

Age and birthday: born on the 6th of july 1982; that makes me 24
Habitat:Mechelen; a (way too noisy city) in Belgium. I grew up the quiet part of Willebroek; a commune between fields and woods. My parents house had practically no neighbours and the yard with the "terrace" was a great "cottonfield" atmosphere for jammin... Now I'm forced to play the guitar in our bedroom. (our bedroom: I have a girlfriend named Kim Huysmans (Huysmans could be translated as "from the house")

How long have you been playing guitar?at first I played left on a righthanded startocaster copy for a year and a half
then I bought my "real" guitar that was ermmm end of 2002
played some tunes but since I found Justins site; I try a bit more of a structured approach
Which is/are your favorite music genre(s)?I like soo much; except for the too commercial crap and R&B (mumbling bling bling shaait)
I most like classical, oldies, (hard) rock, blues and that thing Orbital does
I also like the moviethemse of Danny Elfman (mostly works together with the director Tim Burton (edward scirrhands, charlie & the chocolate factory etc)
most of all I like his version for "Batman" (and by that I DON't mean the little 'nananananananan batman' tune)
Which genre do you play on your guitar often?rock and blues; but I like to play funny tunes too like baby elephant walk; showtunes; old 'folksongs'
Who are your favorite bands?like harpmaker, I'm more of a song based man. Sometimes I like 10 songs of a group; sometimes just 2 or 3.
I enjoy :
the smashing pumpkins (what they used to play; I have NO IDEA what they do now)
prokofiev, wagner,boudewijn de groot, the stones, Guns n Roses, aahh too much to mention all
What inspired you to start playing guitar?- the ability to bring melody AND rythm
- the versitality (is that even a word?)
- but most of all the sound(effects)
- it's my escape from reality! whoop whoop!
Do you play in a band or have you been playing in a band?nope, perhaps one day... at least I need a car :p
Why do you play guitar?- to chill form a hard day at work
- the challenge of constant learning; everytime these cool discoveries
- expressing myself
What are your goals for the future? :x guitar related:
-constant learning and exploring,
-maintaining the right ratio in inspiration, frustration and results
= keeping it fun but challenging
-of course everybody as a little or big ego; mine asks a bit but not much:be recognized as a guitarp layer. not as being famous but more in like someone answering (without hesitating) with my name if someone asks "which person you know plays quite a bit of guitar?"
non-guitar related:
A house in the fields; an average of 1.2 children in a usual happy family situation
good health for me; future wife and possible kids
balance in rational thinking in business en expression in music :p
perhaps once owning my own little firm in (web)design/solutions/consulting
DOING THE RIGHT THING, DOING THE THING RIGHT
I don't wish for world peace or end of hunger
I moslty focus on different parties UNDERSTANDING each other; greasing up the rusty communications; creating pragmatic models to delegate projects to specialists in their fields. in short; working on the glasses to see the "big picture" as clear as possible
