I'm a 31 year old shredding guitarist that has played lead guitar for about 15 years. I've dabbled in other instruments starting with sax in elementary school and I've recently started teaching myself to sing as well but my main focus is super fast complex lead guitar. I'm looking to either start a new band to write original music or join a band doing that already. My preferences are rock/metal/punk. Check out my two improvised lead tracks over backing tracks or my two untitled original songs to hear a little bit of what I can do.

Influences
I practice everyday and I play a little of everything but lately I've been focused on practicing and learning Yngwie Malmsteen, Dragonforce, Guthrie Govan, Eric Johnson, Paul Gilbert, Van Halen, John Petrucci, Joe Satriani, and other great speed virtuoso guitarists. Recently I've been playing a lot of progressive metal too. I play a lot of metal but I also like playing and singing pop punk, grunge, and 90s and 2000s alternative songs.

Backing Track Project 3 (Progressive)
Backing Track Project 3 (Progressive)
This one is semi improvised. I wrote a bunch of the riffs for another song but I changed them and extended them as well as came up with stuff in the moment to be able to play until the end of the backing track. It starts out a little rough because it's improvised but gets much better after a minute or 2.

Backing Track Project 2 (Thrash)
Backing Track Project 2 (Thrash) Year: 2022 Genre: Metal
This is another improvised lead track I did over a Metallica style backing track. It's a little repetitive but because it's improvised it's a little different each time. Here is the backing track: https://backing-tracks.bandcamp.com/track/em-heavy-metal-thrash-metal-220-bpm-old-metallica-style

Fast metal noodling
Fast metal noodling
I made this just for fun. I wanted to hear what i sounded like doing some really fast sweeping and tapping and couldnt find a backing track that could keep up. Even though its not as coherent as the stuff with backing tracks i still think it sounds pretty cool.

Backing Track Project 4 (Ballad)
Backing Track Project 4 (Ballad)
This was supposed to just be a warm up for another song in the same key. It was the first time I'd played over this backing track and it's completely improvised but I thought it turned out pretty good for what it is.
