My name is Mehmet Barlo, and I am a guitar fanatic. I guess acknowledging this is a good first step in presenting myself... :)

Thanks for checking this channel. Hope you like what you hear. 

I am sharing stuff that I have played on backtracks with you guys. Just jamming... 

The equipment I used for those are listed in the associated information sections, in case you are interested.

Best,
