I am a 27 year old serious musician. I play mainly electric guitar and some keyboard, bass and chromatic harmonica.
I've studied at three music schools and have been studying music with various teachers for most of my life.
So I would like to find some kind of compatible musicians to work with. I tend towards playing jazz and really enjoy playing with people who have a
background in it. But on the other hand I want to play more of an accessible rock sound and play more gigs. I'm not really the best at getting gigs though.
Someone who is a good diplomat and businessman for music would be great. I also really enjoy playing classical duos, trios quartets or whatever as I've
worked on classical guitar a lot. Someone to collaborate with on songwriting would be really awesome. Really any instrument would be cool to play with,
but I am more looking for people who want to start a regular project that rehearses at least once or twice a week. By the way, since it is a question that a
lot of potential bandmates have, I am 420 friendly, however I'm not the type who necessarily needs to do that at rehearsals or gigs if it makes people especially uncomfortable. I definitely don't like people drinking during rehearsals or gigs because music should be more important than alcohol and because it makes it much more likely there will be arguments. I also really like it when a band can be democratic, letting everyone have their own say and no one person who is controlling or has to be the leader. At the same time I need people who can take musical criticisms or concerns I might have. I only want to play with people who are actively practicing on their own and hopefully taking lessons or have taken lessons in the past.
I've got the summer basically free, so hit me up if you want to work on some music and if your interests and experience are similar to mine. I will take seriously and respond to any emails I get.
thanks a lot.
