ABOUT

My style can be described as blues with some heavy rhythms and syncopated leads, but I tend to travel out of and off-scale quite a lot. I'm more of a solo player than a rhythm player, but my solos usually go well with rhythmic beats and drums. Love playing harmonic scales and combining it with blues scales and also short burts of blues verses. My guitar sound is an infusion of classic rock, technical guitaring, and newer acoustic/distorted indie-rock sounds. I love incorporating triplets into fast solos. Lots of string bending, hammer-ons and pull-offs. I've recently got into experimenting with effect pedals and quickly learning ins and outs of various major effect types - delays, wahs, extreme distortions, feedback loops.

I'm currently looking for an easygoing drummer and/or saxophonist and/or keyboardist. I have practice space in my basement with some decent equipment and listening gear.
