ABOUT
Been playing music for over 20+ years. I've been playing guitar for about 18-ish years. I've tried starting my own band a few times but it never ended up working out. I've had some experience recording. I prefer playing lead guitar over rhythm but I love doing both. I can read sheet music and I'm halfway okay at writing music. I love to improvise on the guitar and jam, just give me a drum beat and a little bass. I just love to play guitar and I don't get to play near as much as I would like to. It would just be nice to have a band to jam with or whatever. Interested in taking a shot at lead vocals as well.
AS far as the song on here goes, this is a song I recorded back in '03 when my friend and I were trying to start a band. It's just a song I kinda made up on the spot. I recorded the background rhythm guitar, then went back and recorded the lead over that. The drums are just a drum machine. The recording quality isn't the best, gets a little distorted at times, gains were too high when recording but hey, we were still learning.
