Band to Join, Vocalist.ABOUT
I am experienced guitar player. I’ve played in a number of bands and frankly often become frustrated a the varying levels of commitment from members. I believe if you’re playing out, you should strive to sound awesome, come to rehearsal to practice material, and not to learn it. Rather than coordinate all of the instruments and roles, I’d really like to try something new: I want to perform on stage with one other person who is a really good vocalist. I sing good backup but just don’t have the lead singing vibe. If they don’t play an instrument, fine, if they do, fine. I’m shooting for some kind of duet focusing on a huge variety of music genres and styles. My list below touches on the kind of thing I enjoy learning and playing. s://drive.google/file/d/1Fal1Yf3WJtlfr-j6G8uS04kpmslJ6zJ-/view?usp=drivesdk
