SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
Hey all, good day to you!
60-something with decent chops: not the worst, not the best, but creative and very into the groove and the jam and dedicated to bringing songs to life, on "tape" or in front of an audience.
Transplanted from So Cal during the Great Recession (wasn't anything great about THAT to my mind!) and have played with covers bands and Bandmix meet-ups off and on since then. Still a beach rat by disposition...
Primarily offering electric guitar in rock, blues and psychedelic styles, but not shabby on bass guitar and able to add right-hand keyboard support if needed.
My other side is co-writing, arranging and creative input/production assistance. I love the recording and mixing process almost as much as the "musical" part of music.

Moorish scales meet restrained electric lead guitar with a synth vox hook for the choruses of this moderate tempo instrumental.

Reggae In Morocco Year: 2017 Genre: Reggae
Most of a backing track (bass is missing...) with a Bonham-styled heavy drum a la D'jer Maker and synth strings adding a mysterioso flavor.

Route 74 excerpt
Route 74 excerpt Year: 2016 Genre: Classic Rock
For some change of inspiration I bought Complete Takes from Loop Loft several years ago and constructed this rough arrangement in a 60s Booker T style. There is no Route 74 that inspired this, it's a joke on the main chord structure, root, flat 7 and 4th.
