ABOUT

25 y.o. lead guitarist looking to start or join a hard rock/metal project. Over the last 10 years I have played a lot of shows in US, and spent a lot of time in the recording studios.
I am heavily influenced by old school rock and metal ranging from Sabbath/Zeppelin/ACDC to Metallica/Accept/Pantera including newer stuff like Korn/Mudvayne/Godsmack/Tool

Here's what I have to offer:

- solid rhythm and unique leads (no wanking - I work on my leads, and play them consistantly)
- pro gear: Mesa amplification and Gibson guitars
- not too heavy on effects, but have a great tone
- standard or drop D tuning, (flexible depending on style)
- practice guitar almost every day to a click
- great work ethics
- no big ego
- great stage presence
- full-time employed
- reliable transportation
- drama free
- lots of time on my hands
- willing to contribute time and money in the right situation
- willing to practice twice a week or more
- drug/alcohol free (I can drink a beer on occasion)
- great connections

What I am looking for:

A project or musicians around my age or so (drums, bass and vocals, possibly second guitar) that is/are dedicated and have experience. I would like to work with musicians that are good at what they do, are goal oriented, and are willing to contribute as much as possible to reach that goal, whether it is recording an album/EP or going on tour.

Please do not contact if:

- have a drug/alcohol problem
- want to be in a hobby band
- not willing to work hard
- have no instrument/transportation/job
- haven't played for years and decided to start over
- wrapped up in family life/girlfriend drama, and have no time for music
- have time to pick up your instrument once a week and expect to become a rock star
