Im a broke boi who can't pay for this app.. so if you like what you read, add my snap: ashtonmcgrath
If you're listening to my song in my profile, you skip to the halfway mark (literally halfway, lol) if you wanna get to the point. Reach out if you wanna hear other stuff! :)
I enjoy playing/making metal, vibey music, and everything in between. That's not a fair description to be honest, I play/make whatever I like, but that's what I gravitate towards. I can send some examples of my music if anyone's interested. Looking for people to jam with and help me write new songs as well as improve songs I already have. It'd also be nice to stop programming drums.
My main instrument is guitar. I'm not quite shredding, but I'm always actively improving my technique, so one day! But if my lead playing won't be your savvy, I promise my rhythm guitar should be decent. I've got a pretty decent down pick, good tremolo, good pinch harmonics, decent legato, and can arpeggiate chords pretty well like in My Curse by KSE. I can send examples of anything.
My bass is ok, I'm definitely a guitarist first. But I can play the Meshuggah Bleed rhythm with my fingers fairly easily, so go figure. Again, I can send examples of my bass playing.
I can sing, but I'm definitely better suited as a backing vocalist as I'm still actively working on my voice. I can, however, do quite a bit with vocal distortion and I can throat sing.
The piano is my longest instrument, but its been neglected through the years. I can play Nuvole Bianche, so I'm decent, but I'm no Rudess.
I have a beautiful 12 string and a seven string guitar to work with. Some of my biggest inspirations as a guitarist are Petrucci, Eric Johnson, and Dimebag.
I have a home studio, but its not big enough or suited for a band.
Sorry for the novel, I just want people to play with me :( I promise I'm cool, my baby thinks so.
P.S. I didn't really know what a 5 in the experience for instruments is supposed to look like, so dont take those rating too close to hear I guess.
