Introduce yourself. What is your name and location?

My names zach "Zdubs" Chapman and im here to spread my reggae tunes. i am an aspring musician and i think of myself as a bradly nowell, bob marley,with a little funky reggae style. Im from the midwest so that long beach style lives in my spirit i just haven't seen it or been there to really feel the essence of that dub stylee.

Tell us a little about your story, you can tell us your age if your game but not necessary (or age bracket, we have a truly diverse group). When did you take up guitar? How long have you been playing? What led you to look for lessons or help, how is it you ended up here?

I took up playing music in about 2003, my freshman year of high school. i heard sublime in 1999 and have loved them ever since. they changed my life and i only wish i could have been around to see bradly play some dubs. I ended up on this website to further my playing skills. You can never get enough reptition skills and practice. Like The new front man of sublime said the other day on twitter. "Repitition is the father of learning"- ROME RAMIREZ

What Kind of Guitar do you play? Do you have any others in your stable? Do you lust after anything else specifically? (all of us here have the 'disease' it seems)

I strictly play fender guitars and bass. I wouldn't have it any other way it was my first brand and will be my last. and i lust for three full pedal boxes with everything. two bass amps and stacks, with wireless pickups. glow in the dark iluminating strings if thats even real. ha. and i would have to say a lime green fender persision squir, that i can play some funky reggae dubs on. That's of course my dream set up.

What is your favorite music to play? How about to listen to? What kind of playing styles would you like to learn or already know?

My favorite music to play is REGGAE. I EAT IT FOR BREAKFAST, LUNCH, AND DINNER. Same to listen to. The Gladiators, BOB, SUBLIME, THe aggrolites. thats just a few of them. I would like to learn every style in the book, like i say practice has no end.

If there was one goal you could accomplish in your learning journey what would that be? or maybe you have many?

To Play with the best reggae bands in the world. Be on a LateNight show. Have a manager and create my music for the world. get signed to skunk records or anyone who will take me. I know im from the midwest but our reggae still flows the same. ha.

If you are comfortable share with us your work a little, job, business, whatever you want to say.

I'm always looking for gigs.

Anything else you would like to share ? Anything about your family, hobbies outside of Guitar? On the site you will meet everyone from golfers to Gourmet Chef's to car nuts, and sports folk..and everyone in between. Whatever else you may want to add?

I love REGGAE/DUBS and i loke chilin with y homies and playing in my band.
