SEEKING
Band to Join, Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Keyboard.ABOUT
I am a player of rhythm and lead guitar of rock and metal for 26 years and counting. I love rock from the days of old to new and progressive metal. I have always been just a hobby player and sort of a perfectionist. I learn songs by ear and played genres outside of rock such as country, blues and even a little bluegrass country. I have never been in a band but I would veryuch like to be a part of one or a part of the music business. I am a good improvisational player and into melodic acoustic from the melancholy to slightly minor key styles of music. Other favorite is neo- classical, flamenco, classical, alternative, instrumental and blues like SRV and Kenny Wayne Sheppard. I am very serious as I view my self taught abilities as a gift from the heavens. If you'd like to know more information please don't hesitate with you inquiries. I love meeting new musicians from every type of music. Thanks for any correspondence and look forward to becoming a part of an ever growing industry.
