Self description of style...? is that like my own guitar playing style? Hmm tough one. In terms of composition, I like weird dissonant chords and intervals, epic melodies, fast riffs, ripping headbanging riffs, crushing heavy riffs. My lead style is easier to pin down. It's a nice mixture of straight up blues, some classical, some middle eastern and far eastern sounds, rooted in an almost spanish/flamenco rhythmic sensibility.
