Seasoned guitar w/ solid chops. Have played the local cover band circuit, but have been out of the scene for a half dozen years. Anxious to play again.
I'm an excellent #2 guitarist (know what and when to play, and how to let a song breathe), and can play plenty of leads on the right songs. (Not a shredder.) Mesh very well with great lead players.
White collar guy by day, so don't need to make money at this. Just want to do it right, and with good people. Would enjoy gigging once in a blue moon.
Check out my mp3s. You'll hear me playing all parts, except for the backing track on Santana's Europa. These were all one or two take recordings done in my simple home studio. (Hence the compressed sound.) Left the occasional flub in, to show ya' I'm human :-))
