pingvin1 + Musician in Winston-Salem, NC

SEEKING

ABOUT

I am the lead guitarist for the band Wicked Shadows. I am a well-trained musician who has played guitar for 25+ years. I have studied piano and voice as well as music composition. I play lead and rhythm guitar and am able to learn a solo note-for-note. I also play bass.

I also am a songwriter. Original material is guitar heavy with powerful drumming, piano, and extensive orchestration, but riff- oriented.

Videos are from my old band from 2001. I am the one who is not the lead singer.

NEED PIANIST/KEYBOARDIST! New hard rock/heavy metal cover/original band. We will first work on 30-40 hard rock/heavy metal covers and then proceed to original material. We want to be out playing paying gigs as soon as possible, so we need fast learners! So far the band consists of me and kick-ass drummer, bassist, and female vocalist. I'm at aol--email address is my screenname.
