ABOUT

Experienced lead/rhythm guitarist with some lead & backing vocals located in NJ shore area. I also have some ability on keyboards and bass if needed. I have some music education, and I'm told I have perfect pitch. I'm comfortable learning and playing by ear, pick up quickly and can learn songs note for note. I consider myself to be a versatile open-minded musician, with years of experience playing classic and southern rock, blues, pop, metal, etc. I'm comfortable with male and/or female fronted cover band situations. I'm currently on a break from a steady gigging situation, but would consider sub or fill-in guitarist opportunities, or full time for the right band. I can be reached at chrispt600 at ver i zon
