SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
Experienced guitarist looking for talented musicians who like to make great music. I prefer originals but have no problem playing some covers... just not 100% covers. Not into the ego trip scene, just good music. I've played for quite a while, I am just as comfortable playing out front or playing in the background and let someone else be the "Guitar God". I'm cool with it. I can be contacted at 31eightsix58threenine7three.

Influences
Way too many to list but it ranges from 60's and 70's rock, Eagles, Boston and Aerosmith, to Van Halen and Ozzy, to even soft rock. Heck, I've played Jim Croce and Dan Fogleberg at weddings. I just like the awesome sounds I can get from my guitar. I've always admired the great guitar players and how they coax sweet sounds from their instruments.
