My main instrument is the lead guitar, I have played in local bands since High School (1980). I started playing trumpet in the 70's but eventually learned you can't sing and play a trumpet. I've been playing in public since the 1980's. I was a sit-in guitarist in Germany in the late1980's, performing country standards at US military bases. I came back to the US and played more country and classic rock in Indiana. In the mid 1990's I moved to Arizona and had a variety band that was very popular in Glendale (next to Luke AFB). I am interested in performing regularly. I can do sit in work on lead/rhythm/bass guitar or on the piano. Just send me a message if you need a temp.

MUSIC

Two of Us
Two of Us Track number: 3 Year: 2013 Album: Steve Yoder's Album Genre: Classic Rock
This is one of my favorite Beatles songs. I'm harmonizing with myself and trying to sing at the top of my range once again. (only cracked a few) The guitars are me with the exception of the bass and the drums are midi.

Rikki Don't Lose that Number
Rikki Don't Lose that Number Track number: 2 Year: 2012 Album: Steve Yoder's Album Genre: Classic Rock
This is sung by my brother Adam Yoder, he also plays the piano on it. The guitars are me and the drums are midi. Adam put his tracks on at his house in Indiana then uploaded the files to dropbox for me to mix it out. Pretty neat, huh?

Mary's Little Lamb
Mary's Little Lamb Track number: 1 Year: 2012 Album: Steve Yoder's Album Genre: Blues
This is a copy of Stevie Ray's song and I shortened it up a bit. Mainly because I was just playing around with the recording software. Trying to learn how to use it. The drum track is midi but everything else is me.
