SEEKING

ABOUT

*UPDATE*
I've teamed up with Keith Jeffords on the drums, and we're currently trying to recruit a good vocalist to begin developing our original music with. We are not looking for the typical modern screaming/growling type of metal vocalist, we want someone with their own distinctive voice to add to our mix.
*/END UPDATE*

I am a lead guitarist looking to start or join a metal band without all that growling and screaming crap. I would prefer to focus on originals, although I understand that playing some covers is necessary. I like to play in a lot of drop d tuning and incorporate 2 guitar harmonies in a lot of my original material. I've been playing on and off since 1993. I also have a good bit of home recording experience. You can hear some of my older playing at:
