ABOUT

Young, driven musician looking for work to expand his horizons. Available for hire or as a full member for live and studio projects. Will consider anything, but my main interests are heavy metal, rock, jazz (though little experience, currently learning), progressive, and classical (though not sure how much help I'd be as an electric guitar player, lol). Wouldn't be opposed to a pop project either, but it would have to really interest me. My main instrument is electric guitar, but I have acoustic and bass experience, and am going to start learning keys soon. I'm a moderately okay singer with a lower-pitched voice, probably not a lead singer, but solid back up and harmony.

If interested, I can be reached at 570-292-8558, or benkertbass at yah00

Joe Satriani, Paul Gilbert, Ynqwie Malmsteen, Alex Skolnik, Kiko Lauriero, Frank Gamable, Larry Carlton, Antonio Vivaldi, Beethoven, and Frank Zappa are the main ones, though I try to listen to a wide variety of music and I can take inspiration from anything, from Cannibal Corpse to Adele. XD
