Just looking to get out there and make some music. I started playing guitar in 7th grade and while I have no illusions of quitting my day job and becoming a rockstar, I'd love to do more than just be a bedroom player. I may not have stage or studio experience, but it's never too late to start, right?!
I'm no shredder by any means but I can hold down a rhythm and would rather come up with hooky riffs than blazing guitar solos anyway. I'm very much a pop punk guy, but I grew up listening to Springsteen and a lot of 90s country radio, so I'm into a lot of different styles of music. Basically if there's a cranked up guitar on it, I'm interested.
I'm putting "moderate" for a commitment level because I don't expect to make a career out of music but I do want to take it seriously. Whether you're looking to start a band, or looking for someone to co-write with and bounce ideas off of, or just want to get together and jam, hit me up!
