Drew Burns

Hi, my name is Drew Burns. I have been playing guitar for about six years. I was in a band in middle school and high school, but then quit my sophomore year. I am now in a new band called Corvair. We are in the process of trying out singers, which is going really well. After that we are recording a demo and should have our first show at UCLA in June. The band is a metal/punk fusion with no screaming, and most important to me, we have guitar solos. I also have my own acoustic gig. I have recorded over ten songs on a four track that I own. You can check a few of them out on myspace.com/drewburns. the personal information is a little out of date, but ignore that. I'm taking this class in order to get some outside influences for the music that I write. Hopefully I can incorporate some of the stuff I hear in this class to my own musical ventures. I don't read music very well, but I can read treble clef ok. I do most stuff by ear, so if you ask me what scale i'm playing or what key i'm in, it might take me a couple minutes haha. Anyway, this class seems really interesting and i'm glad i'm taking it.
