I played my very first (30 year old) guitar for the first time in about 20 years.

I'm turning 44 years old today and it's been exactly 30 years since I got my very first electric guitar. This is a video about it.

I play guitar in Within Temptation and my own projects For All We Know and the acoustic Iron Maiden band Maiden uniteD. And I'm always interested in playing with all kinds of other bands/projects/artists.

Check out the rest of my video's. I'm uploading playthroughs, guitar lessons and other kind of music related videos on a regular basis. In my lessonsI'm trying to focus a little bit on the beginner/intermediate player...
