SEEKING

ABOUT

Hey I am a rhythm / lead guitar player, playing mostly the electric, but also the acoustic and some electric bass.
I am mostly interested in playing classic rock (Led, Queen, Floyd, Journey, Red Hot, Stones, Echo, The Cure, etc), funk (Chic, anything "Scary Pockets"-style), some more current rock (Arctic Monkeys, Strokes), and perhaps even some Jazz / Bossa Nova. I am originally from Brazil, and can also play Brazilian rock / MPB.

As a bandmate, I have all my equipment, always show up on time, and practice songs beforehand. I prefer playing with folks with a strong work ethic, who can take and give constructive criticism, and who don't overindulge in substances before / during playing. Oh and who know how to have fun!
