Got own 24/7 rehearsal space now, fully loaded with Guitar, Bass, and Key amps, and full drum kit.
I'm always looking for some more cats to get together with and play. I'm partial to Jazz - Modern, Standards, Funk/Fusion, and even playing some original music. I'm open to other things though, like classic rock cover bands, funk/soul/RB that can get a room off their feet and onto a dance floor, even or modern rock stuff too.
Even if you're not looking to start something serious and just want to get together and play some standards or Fusion stuff a la Mike Stern or Wayne Krantz, give me a hollar. A night of playing music, even just in a rehearsal studio is a better way to spend a night than watching the boob tube or blowing $50 on $7 beers at a dive bar.
And yeah, I play guitar. Just guitar. Unless you count a guitar synth as a different instrument. Everyone on this site seems to play at least 7 instruments...seriously?
