SEEKING
Band to Join, Banjo, Mandolin, Fiddle, Dobro, Upright bass.ABOUT
Primary instrument Guitar. Have played rhythm for over 30 yrs. Have been focused on lead for last 3 years and making good progress. Typically play songs at 220 to 240 bpm. If I know a song real well I can play it at up to 300 bpm. I practice about 5 hrs a day and consistently use a metronome. I like bluegrass that has a traditional sound. My vocal is average. My banjo playing is average and I could improve greatly if I played it all the time but I focus on the guitar. I'm looking for someone to jam with on a regular basis and if it works out for everyone, form a band.
