Hi, I'm a versatile guitarist who can sing hoping to join talents with a pro band, do fill-in work or improv partners. Love most genres of rock, pop, R&B, jazz, as well as some metal and certain types of country. (NOTE: I am not a good match for you if you identify as a mainstream country band.)
I can sing lead, but if you've got that well covered already, I'm good with just doing bg vocals.
I've decades of live music experience of many styles in bands, duos, trios and pit work for local theaters.
I do my homework and, being retired, can be prepared and ready to perform quickly.
I have a solid, working understanding of music theory and language.
I have a good ear for vocal harmonies and can multitask guitar and vocals well.
My gigging schedule is flexible.
I'm fully vaxed with no health/physical or drug/alcohol issues.
Love doing something challenging or "next level".
LOVE strong vocals in a band.
Always try to be better at this and interested in practice partners to help each other explore and push our personal musical boundaries.
Hopefully, that should about cover it. Any interest/questions, please hit me up here's or fzcbh at yahoo, too. Thanks.

An example of me playing something a little more in the pocket. You may have heard this on "Local on the 8's" on the Weather Channel, lol. This guy was/is a major influence on me.
