ABOUT

Hi, I'm Steve. I've been playing mediocre guitar for a long time, but I write pretty decent material. Much like every musician's challenge, though, I am terrible at layering my music and writing complimentary scales etc... I simply need others' input to make good music GREAT music.

I'm laid back, but I like to play and write guitar music. I haven't had much passion on lyrics in over 5 years, so I'd be interested in someone else's brains for that. I don't want to get together and do twenty cover songs... I want to create and record- plus play our material live.

I am no Mark Tremonti, and I am weak on my scales, but I can keep time all day, and I usually write good progressions.

P.S.- I'm using the free membership for bandmix, so if you contact me leave an email address or phone number. You can also email me at Steven [dot] knichel [at] [dot] com
