SEEKING
Band to Join, Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums.ABOUT
I'm looking for a band that'll have me as a guitarist or if needed, I like playing bass as well. I've been playing forever. I'm a loose player that doesn't enjoy playing with mathematical precision. Think Keith Richards not Steve Vai. If you know what I mean, you know that doesn't mean "sloppy"...I have an affinity for open tunings with/without a capo. I'm well versed in standard tuning but I can play & write in open G, slide guitar in open G, D, and E. Lap Steel Guitar in C6 and E6 tuning.

Syph's Blues
Syph's Blues Year: 2002 Genre: Blues
Something I have that's easily available on my phone! It's old - 18 years or so - but I'm still proud of the playing. My style is roughly the same now - although playing blues only isn't what I'm looking for right now. (This track was supposed to fade out so it gets a bit tedious at the end...)
