Vocalist, Lead Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Other Percussion, Keyboard.ABOUT
Guitar player with about 24 years of playing experience. I haven’t been in a band for a while and am now craving getting together with a group of like minded folks to play some tunes.
I love thrash metal, melodic death metal, surf, classic rock, glam metal and punk. Not looking to play with people with excessive egos or exclusionary mindsets - I love all music but the aforementioned genres are the ones I can play well. Check out my Instant Gram (it blocks the proper name on here) for reference of my musical tastes and music collection: JonStrad
Looking for a band or to start a band with a practice space that can meet later at night (ideally after 5:00 PM on weekdays, a 8:00 PM or later to Midnight practice time a couple times a week would be amazing). I work full time from home Monday to Friday 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, hence my schedule preference for later week nights.
I am more than willing to help with paying rent for a rehearsal space. I have pro gear and a good attitude so let’s have some fun.
