Guitar player looking to form or join a band. My focus is on finding a vocalist. Someone who has a good range and wants to write lyrics.
As far as music goes, I am looking for riff-based rock with catchy lyrical hooks that people will walk away singing. I want to keep things fun but also push myself to become a better musician (play more interesting solos, incorporate different techniques, etc.).
