ABOUT

I like to play and sing. I have usually been the bass player but am looking to play guitar these days. I love jazz and country (Old School only) along with just about any pop, rock genre. I would like to find a small group or person to write and practice with. I am more interested in the creative side overall but I do want to perform some as well. Someday.

EQUIPMENT

The majority of the time I play a traditional hollow body Jazz guitar through a Jazz amp. (120W) I use effects as subtly as possible. I also play a Fender Jazzmaster, and a Squire modified Baritone Guitar. I recently purchased a lap steel that I am trying to learn the C6 tuning (Hank Williams vibe and lends well to a Hawaiianvibe too) but I am still a novice on it. I have a small PA and Mic Mechanic pedal for voice. I also play a fender jazz bass. I am a recording (Propellerhead Reason) fanatic and I can train people, do setups on various software and troubleshoot problems. I use a Full size 88 key midi piano on my modest home studio.
