i've been playing for about as long as i can remember, and i'm 19 now... the 'voice' you speak of was probably from the flange on the amp. i'm much more of a drummer than a guitarist, some people are just born with good rythem. i sharpened it up through high school playing the snare or bass, wherever i was needed... now i just mess around in my basement. but hit me up if you ever wanna talk music... i'm all for some good music.
