College of Heavy Metal

Amp, on. Pedal, connected. Guitar connected... Let's rock! Bards of the College of Metal are known to be loud and intimidating, but oftentimes gentle sweethearts who just happen to listen to heavy music. Bards of this college have dedicated their life into perfecting the art of playing the guitar, a simple yet complex and beautiful instrument. They study and practice vigorously for years, studying chord progressions, picking patterns and techniques and chasing their dreams of reaching the artists on the top. Additionally, bards who study this college are oftentimes hotheaded and have a temper... They may be bards, but they know how to fight
