I’m a guitarist who’s been doing mainly original material for the last few decades but I’m looking for a more laid back situation. I'll do covers or original material, as long as the songs are good. I have major label recording and touring experience and will bring a pro attitude. I’m 52 but in decent shape. I like trans-y psychedelic type sounds but I can play anything from Johnny Cash to Pink Floyd. I've got good vocal abilities, great lead guitar tone and a strong rhythm hand.

I mainly want to have fun maybe make a few bucks, I like to jam. I'm not a mercenary. The tunes above are stuff I did alone in my home studio except Stayin' Alive which was recorded with my old band The Royal Wyldes.

Edit: I've recently found a singer and drummer. Both are quite good. We need a bass and either second guitar or keys. We're covering Nirvana, Bowie, Stones, Beatles etc.

Influences:

I don't know if I'd say these are all influneces, but this is what I'm into this week, ask me next week and I'll probably give you a different list: Bowie, Rolling Stones, Goldfrapp, Otis Taylor, Pink Floyd, Neil Young, U2, Beck, LCD Soundsystem, Acrcade Fire, Stereophonics, Stereolab, Radiohead, Queens of the Stoneage, Television, Air, Fela Kuti, Tinariwen, Bob, Dylan, Dwight Yoakam, Simon & Garfunkle, The Velvet Underground, The Stranglers, The Jam, The Hives, N.Y.
