ABOUT
A little about me:
I started playing guitar in July of 2009. I have mainly focused on lead guitar mixed with rhythm playing. I am a big fan of funk rhythm mixed with Blues music. I also like to add in Jazz chords to change up chord voicing.
I would consider myself to be a moderate playing at this point. I have been practicing almost every day since when I started and I have been able to pick up a lot of concepts, but I feel the most important thing that I may be missing is playing with other musicians. I have had the opportunity to Jam with a few friends on occasion and I often play along with music on my computer.
I have started to work on recording some of my playing and have purchased some gear (audio interface, 2 Mics, Computer).
I am ultimately am looking to join a band and do have the ability to fill some nights with gigs. I am also open to just Jamming with anyone. I do not mind skill level as I feel there is something you can learn / gain for playing with any musician.
