Rod AKA Mal + Musician in Sarasota, FL

SEEKING

ABOUT

I am original from England, was introduced to good rock bands and live concerts from an early age, picked up the guitar seriously at 14.I have been playing guitar for 30+ years and it is a big part of who I am, I still get motivated to improve and become a better musician. I try to practice at least two hours every day on something new to challange me. I started out playing the Blues and now I am getting back into those influeneces alot, one guitarist I am beginning to love is Larry Charlton, his phrasing and choice of notes has really inspired me. I am seeking a grooving rock/blues drummer and bassist to jam some nice blues progressions, I miss just jamming with other musicians. Would like to do some recording down the road also, havent done that in a long time. If you have been playing quite a while like me and you miss doing a jam too get intouch, it could be a lot of fun.

If you are looking for a session guitarist to record some lead or rhythm on any track I am available to help out, soon I will be getting the amazing Eleven Rack guitar processor for studio recording, it sounds amazing.
