ABOUT
Experienced jazz/blues/rock guitarist, currently playing in an r&b/soul/rock quartet. Available to sub for guitarists on vacation or otherwise temporarily unavailable, and available for recording work.
I'm a fluent, musical and tasteful lead player, both melodic and bluesy, and a strong, solid, tasteful rhythm player with smooth, fluid chord chops, great time and feel.
I learn repertoire very quickly — I have good ear, can read, and know my stuff.
