** Well still in the bedroom playing along to backing tracks on the electric six string.. *This as a long time Bass player....
I occasionally do gigs in my head lol
The backing tracks are across the board and I am liking the reggae,blues and going a bit ballistic with the old school metal.
My chords and scales are coming along and really wouldn't mind a jam sometime. This as to make up the numbers.:)
'Actually thinking of going into a studio for a day as have an idea for a cover reworking (metal rock pop rendition of a power pop track) and would like to do a track for old times sake really.
So influences across the board..Stones, Beatles (the swinging stuff...) Punk and last night you tubing The Cranberries.
I guess that my six string playing isn't as strong as my bass playing ...used to be... but I'm a creative and can't seem to stop.
blues...well almost everything if I study it a bit.
Thanks for viewing ~ Cheers (May/15/2025) now young at heart sixty something.
Kind of experienced gigging and recording
Haven't stopped playing either live or at home since the punk days circa '77.
My love of almost every genre has scoped out since then enjoying playing in most 'local' musical punky rock n pop movements since and picking up some music course stuff on the way.
I also like to dub things out in a ragga rock style :)
What you get from me is total commitment to learning the set inside out before gigging so it being as professional as possible.
Of course I'm knocking on a bit now, but I truly haven't stopped, until of late.
*I've been playing on my acoustic a bit lately and was wondering if there's a Joni Mitchell fan/female voice out there who would like to sing to my chords please ? Maybe as part of a short open-mic ? Thank you

Bass ( whatever I have at the time)- am currently thinking of getting a 5 string bass
Amp ~ Would get/have the right one
Pedals ~boost, compression, delay ,chorus etc
Acoustic guitars - small amp with effects
Electric - cheap one at the moment but ok to jam with then step up with a better one when and if needed
