I've listed four genres as that's the limit, so "other" includes acoustic, alternative, celtic, R&B, pop, cover/tribute, funk, country, rockabilly, and most types of rock.
I sing and play acoustic guitar (pick and fingerstyle), electric guitar (rhythm and lead), harmonica (diatonic), bass and keyboard.
A little rusty on bass, but can quickly get back up to speed. Haven't put time in on keyboards for a while so would be fairly basic to begin with. Very happy to do backing vocals.
I'm looking to exchange ideas, jam, and generally collaborate with musicians within 40 miles of LL26.
Would also like to get gigging as soon as possible either with an existing band, through creating a band, or in a duo or trio. I guess the latter actually is a band, but you know what I mean!
Happy to play covers or originals. Would also like to collaborate on original material.
I've not posted examples of my playing as any choice would inevitably not reflect the breadth of my musical interests. Happy to agree songs to play/record to demonstrate proficiency, etc. Not particularly interested in shredding for its own sake, but anything goes if it serves the song.
I can read standard notation and Nashville charts as well as lead sheets, tab, etc. I have a solid understanding of music theory and principles of arranging and have worked professionally with studio gear. Regarding cover versions, when desired I can reproduce most guitar parts note-for-note with accurate tone, dynamics and phrasing, and same goes for bass and harmonica. I was a professional writer and I'm very happy to create or collaborate on lyrics.
Please drop me a line on here or on 07976609195. Would be great to hear from you.
