Im a bit of a cpu illiterate guy but I can learn a book if I needs to. I'm currently unemployed, as I have never sought out the green paper that everyone puts your identity to. Yes I'm broke. Yes I'm quite talented as I've never been to college and have only worked kitchen jobs for a handful of years at a time, I've been jamming and creating art. As these are the rare things that are devoid of b.s. I mainly write my own stuff but, alas, I'm desparate and will do covers. I am devoid of the musicians ego. But I am confident I can add tasteful color to any song. My lead is simple bendy, feely moody stuff. Nothing fancy, but David Gilmore ain't to be scoffed at. I am a songwriter but not too skilled at powerful singing. My range is akin to Hendrix, Ronney van Zandt and that high pitched Bee Gee's voice. I have no problem singing and playing as I have fronted all my previous bands. Would like to have a singer who's a singer! Confidence is paramount. Call me and I'll give u a demonstration of the string sorcery.

Influences
Red hot chili peppers, HENDRIX, skynyrd, blind melon, TOOL, John Frusciante, classic rock, new rock. too much to list. Not too good at playing jazz or country because I never really got off on em. But I really am up for anything. Music is freedom. My style is a bit of whatever the song needs.

EQUIPMENT
1977 color changing strat (how's that for psychedelic). Prs, gibson, ibanez, schecter and an absolutely wonderful 8 string ukulele. Larrivee acoustic that is too expensive but is nice sounding. Yamaha classical, Martin ,and washburn 12 string acoustics. Peavy tube amp and a fender combo. Effects galore. But I really just use the essentials. If my fingers can't make the sound, it's not acceptable. My humble opinion. Hypocritic opinion.
