My gear is getting a bit dusty basically. Haven’t dared to look at my bass strings for nearly 8 months , Disrespectful I know.
I don’t wear a hat because I’m a musician.
Anyway, would love to play backing rhythm guitar in a funk blues thing. Never done that before. All the gear and some idea lol
Or Hammond organ / Rhodes kinda stuff backing etc.
Not a front entertaining spot light kind of guy.
I try to let the music speak. Too tiring prancing around on stage playing 3 chord tricks. Especially on mini cruise gigs where if you’re lucky, you have a wall or a stand to hold on to whilst your lagato-ing with one hand whilst the other hand propping yourself up from the choppy waves! I’ll leave it there.
Any jam nights about where people just jam without knowing any songs? I’ll come to that! Let’s play and meet.
