former pro guitarist, wanting to get back in to actually playing it.... mostly for fun and to remind myself why i do what i do. (currently still work in the audio industry as studio engineer and acoustic design consultant, neither of which is as glamorous as you may think... playing is more fun.....)
in my 40's now.... rock and roll stardom is not on my agenda , just want to have fun and motivate myself to play the damn guitar a bit... but happy to gig..... indeed i'd enjoy the hell out of it.... prefer writing original material, but will also do covers....
you can get hold of me without paying

Joy of Flight
Joy of Flight Year: 2005 Album: Max's Ring tone. Genre: Classic Rock
i wrote this for my mobile ring tone.... took about 45 minutes to record.... . self indulgence , but representative of what i'm currently still able to do ... playing wise.... who knows , with motivation and a reason to practice, maybe i'll remember how to shred.... and then be a gentleman and refrain from doing so ;-)
