SEEKING
Band to Join, Vocalist - Baritone, Vocalist - Tenor, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums.ABOUT
I'm Matt, my strongest instrument is Guitar, then bass, piano, and drums. I can sing but do not practice it religiously like I do guitar. I am looking for individuals that are committed, have an income, own their own gear, can transport themselves, and have the ultimate devotion to their primary instrument to take it further than a cover band or their bedroom.
I can play lead and rhythm guitar, and improvise in a few keys.
I come from a background of piano and high school marching band/concert band. I can read music but not sightread to the greatest extent.
I have the typical M-F 8-5 job and free weekends.
I am currently putting a band together that as of now consists of a me(guitar), bassist and drummer.
Right now I am primarily looking for another guitarist that can hold their own whether rhythm or lead.
I am currently doing/writing both but am always open to criticism and change.
As for a singer we are looking but mainly trying to get the music tight first but I will check everyone out that is interested!
Hit me up I live in Arlington!
If interested in jamming or trying to get with what we have started, the current covers that we are using to get tight on are Communication Breakdown (Led Zep), Vasoline and Sex Type Thing (STP), Slither (Velvet Revolver) and Gravemakers and Gunslingers (Coheed)
If you are looking for another guitarist, still hit me up as I am always open to most anything that is serious!
