HaydenBG + Musician in Oxford, MS

SEEKING

ABOUT

first things first I am only allowed to choose 3 genres but to cover some personal ground here.. folky, blues, rock&roll, acoustic, southern rock, punk, alternative, indie, metal and hell i'll throw other in there for hell of it.. I am a unique individual with a broad taste in music.. I dont play covers but I am open to all music and am willing to learn anything. I play my own stuff and its mostly free play do to a high creative drive and the ability to come up with whole songs off the top of my head. I write a lot and know the basics of guitar theory but I'm a bit of a novice in the writing and memorization portion but if worked with I'm highly capable.. I have recently been studying on vocals do to the new found talent behind this tongue, have a wide range and a bit raspy.. Outgoing and have been around arts, music and instruments my whole life and I'm down to jam and learn any time.

EQUIPMENT

Epophone acoustic that has a lot of character, sounds great besides a small buzz do to a missing Chinese ass metric screw missing in the bridge elevation.. unfortunately my ibanez js100 and amp were stolen while living in New Orleans and I have only recently moved to MS so I have no means of a new instrument at the moment but do to the passion and love I have for my music and hobbies I am working pretty hard at that. but I can play I rubber band like I can chew her chicken. I make the best out of very little, part of being a creative and ingenuous artist. I am willing and could probably play anything you hand me. and yes I promise as crazy as I seem that I am jam worthy
