Band to Join, Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Keyboard, Piano.ABOUT
Hi, I've been playing guitar (various styles) for over 20 years and played in various bands, even professionally once. I'm currently in a covers band but am now looking for working on original projects to quench my more creative side.
I have an eclectic playing and writing style and I'm committed to having fun by doing gigs with some covers, but mostly original tracks.
Please check out some examples of my playing/writing styles its by no means comprehensive but will give some indication of my ability to play and write

Lils Paul Demo
Lils Paul DemoThis is a demo of the guitar kit that my ten year old daughter and I built together. Sounded quite good, even with the cheap pickups that came with it. I did upgrade all the wiring once we proved it was a good playable guitar
