ABOUT

Update: Oct., 2019

I'm a square peg refusing and unable to fit in a round hole.

Update: Feb, 2019

If you don't know what a dominant 7 chord is or why you'd use one - then I'm truly sorry.

Update: Aug. 20, 2018

I play in a "Dad Band".

UPDATE: Aug. 1, 2018

I consider myself "intermediate" according to the definition below. I'm in a band and playing gigs (three this month).

Virtuoso - Someone like Steve Vai or Al Di Meola (but not Yngwie Malmsteen)
Expert - A list session player
Advanced - touring sideman on the national level
Moderate - working pro
Intermediate - capable gigging player
Beginner - student progressing towards the next step (intermediate)
Poser - owns great equipment, but won't/can't learn to play anything

Commentary: I've provided the above definitions because BandMix doesn't provide these definitions. I added Virtuoso and Poser - just for fun. At times I cringe a bit when a random guitarist describes their skill level Expert or Advanced on Band Mix. I believe it's better to exceed expectations than disappoint.
