ABOUT

NOTE: Photo of me is 25+ years ago when I was younger and my body didn't hurt.

Old man rhythm guitarist, interested in hard rock/heavy metal, looking to jam with a group of like-minded people. See where it goes from there. Been playing on and off since I was a teenager. Recently dusted off the guitar after 20 years of not playing. Jammed with the guys from my old band and most of it came back, but I still need to get into the swing of things and practice more. I have a fulltime job and a family so I could commit to a group practice once a week if within 20-30 mi. from me (maybe more if closer, less if farther away). Would practice on my own a bit between group practice/jam sessions as time permits.

If you love to lead and shred, go for it. I'm perfectly fine playing rhythm.

Can't commit to a 'world tour', but I'm also not dead yet. So,...yeah.

EQUIPMENT

80's Charvel Strat copy, effect pedals, Crate amp head w/ 4-12 homemade cabinet. Some PA equipment & lights from my years as a mobile DJ. I have a cheap bass that I goof around with, also a set of bass pedals and an old Roland synth (both of these need to be tested, but they should work).
