Surfing Guitarist + Musician in Los Angeles, CA

ABOUT

Have made several independant cds in my home recording set up, mostly instrumentals using variety of drum machines (I cannot play drums). I play all of the instruments on them and do all of the artwork (I am a photographer/digital artist by trade. Have played guitar for over 40 years, but I am not into guitar wanking. Melody and vibe are more important to me than virtuosity. I like listening to some dream theater, but ultimately I become rather bored with technical stuff that only professional guitar gods would like. I like instrumental surf rock for fun. I also use some electronic effects in my recordings. Just looking for fun to play in someone's garage-type set up. Not interested in egos. I am in my 50's but I am not an old *art. We will need a drummer, bass player, lead vocalist and another guitarist. Need own equipment and need to be 40 years or older, but under 70 LOL! Let's have some fun!!! I used to play in covers bands in England back in the '70's, since then, I just play and record my own stuff. This is a link to CD Baby where most of my recordings are

(along with iTunes, Napster, Spotify, Amazon Etc. I am now tired of playing on my own all the time.

I am into all areas of the total image/art!
