SEEKING

ABOUT

I am an experienced semi-pro lead guitarist, been playing 25+ years, pro-quality gear, able to make my guitar also sound like an organ which is super useful for filling out the sound (I have a bi-amp rig for this purpose).

Also an accomplished vocalist (lead or BVs), have done a fair amount of studio time over the years so can play to a click easily etc.

I'd say conservative estimate of gigs I've performed at over the past 10 years would be around 200-300.

Included demo song, Bleed American cover (originally by Jimmy Eat World) is myself doing everything except bass and drums, plus I produced, mixed and mastered the track so it's an example of my studio skills too.

EQUIPMENT

A loooooot of gear, believe me. Main guitar is a Fender Jaguar, backup is a Fender Mustang, I have several valve amps, a keyboard amp, separate rigs for both guitar and keyboard tones, a lot of other stuff. Honestly if it's a conversation you'd like to have, probably easier to ask me directly for specifics!
