About

I'm '38 and have been playing music for almost my whole life. I have achieved a high level of proficiency at playing guitar, bass guitar and 'cello. I have a decent understanding of music theory and can read music fairly proficiently on 'cello, but prefer playing more from intuition/feeling. I have a very good ear and very good timing/rhythm. I have a nice voice, good intonation, a vocal range of more than 3 octaves, can harmonize well with others who have decent pitch and can play complex parts on another instrument while singing. I can solo over changes. I am most interested in playing in a project that is funk/rock/"jam band" based but with a decent degree of originality and musical complexity (no endless two-chord jams). I would like to focus on primarily playing original music but also enjoy playing covers. I am very committed and would like to move toward being a full-time musician. I communicate well, am respectful, easy to work with and open-minded about other peoples' musical input (although I have a low tolerance for ego-tripping or disrespectful behavior of others). I love to practice and do so daily. I average more than 3 hours of practice per day. I don't have any substance abuse issues and am willing to travel. I have a high degree of skills at recording and music editing on computer and own the equipment to do it. I own my own studio space to practice/record in.

A bit of history... My mother was a music teacher. I have three older siblings and grew up with them all playing instruments around me. I began playing the violin at 5 yrs old. Took up the 'cello at 12. Began Guitar at 14. Started learning the bass guitar at 20. I played in many orchestras from 2nd grade on. I went to countless music festivals, sang in many choral performances, did leads in many musicals and in general have spent a tremendous amount of time on stage as far back as I can remember.

Influences

Too many to list. From classical to funk to blues to jazz to bluegrass to psychadelic to rock and roll, etc...
I'm open minded about it. Just want to play great positive music with others. I have uploaded an mp3 clip. Enjoy.

Equipment List

Electric and acoustic guitar, electric and acoustic bass guitar, amps, effects, mics, pickups for acoustic instruments,PA, etc...
If I need it and don't have it, I'll get it.
