ABOUT

My name is Payton Tarver. I'm 19 years old and currently attending university. I've been playing the guitar since I was seven years old and the viola since probably ten. Those are my primary instruments but I know my way around a few others. I'm seeking committed, open-minded, preferably improvisational musicians to start a band with.

EQUIPMENT

Guitars: Squier Stratocaster HSS. Epiphone Les Paul standard. Epiphone Joe Pass signature (based on the Emperor model, my most expensive guitar). A rumple-back Washburn dreadnaught.

Pedals: Boss Super Overdrive SD-1 (my go-to pedal). Boss Distortion DS-1 (sounds like Jack White's distortion). Digitech RP80 (multi-effect pedal, for good, crunchy distortion mostly). Dunlop Crybaby wah.

Amps: Fender Power Chorus (2x12, and I don't know much else about it but has very good wattage and isn't a tube amp). Peavy 15 watt (1x8. It's my main practice amp and is by no means one to perform with.)
