ABOUT

Looking to join an existing band or to form a new one. Bues is my first love but I also love any form of Rock. I consider myself to be an intermediate to "advanced" lead player with an excellent grasp of scales, modes, basic theory, key signatures, songwriting, etc. I am extremely dedicated and I practice for four hours daily. I am motivated and prefer to create original music over just being another cover band. I believe a great lead player should accentuate the music and the vocals and band. I play with alot of feeling and finesse and I'm more of a melodic player than a technical player (melodic being David Gilmour and technical being Steve Vai, Joe Bonamassa, Satriani, Malmsteen, Neal Schon). Search for me on f. a.c. e.b.o. o. k. to contact me!
