The beginning of an unpredictable story

Hi, my name is Thomas Munro and this blog is dedicated to documenting my journey through the music industry. I'v been a student at Middlesbrough college for two years now, studying the strange and deeply subjective field of music technology. I live in Eaglescliffe, Stockton-On-Tees which is a bit of a weird place I guess, everybody here calls it a dump but there are some good points to it (though I cant think of too many apart from parmos and my friends and family).

My VOX AC30 recorded with my RODE nt2a

I started my musical life listening to bands like AC/DC and learned to play the guitar. My first guitar was an Argos strat which put me off stratocasters for years. I upgraded later on to an Epiphone Les Paul which I still have now and it sounds pretty decent (I just wish it stayed in tune) now I have a Gibson SG classic with P90's which sound fat as hell and a Gibson es 335 dot diamond in black which is just the most amazing guitar I'v ever played, it's actually a limited edition from the Gibson custom shop, here's a hyper link to the story of it: http://www.fatneckguitars.co.uk/#/gibson-es335/4545584572

My first good amp was a VOX AC30CC2 and I love this amp. It's impractical as hell and it's an absolute bitch to carry around because it weighs so god damn much... but my god, it sounds heavenly if you want clean tones. I have recently bought a Marshall Class 5 which is a perfect little 5W class A tube amp that I fell in love with the moment I first tried it in the shop.

Middlesbrough College by Steve Mayes

In my two years at Middlesbrough college I have learned so much and made some good friends on the way, just about all the lecturers are brilliant, as long as you respect them enough to get work in when needed and don't act like a complete idiot. I cant wait to start my last year here because I just want to learn more and more. I love meeting fellow students that are as passionate about music and the technology side of it as I am. Middlesbrough college is a great environment to learn through conversations with fellow students, and lecturers are always more than willing to pass on knowledge and advice.
