ABOUT

Left my last band in June 2024 after 5 years with them due to lack of commitment from some members.
I’d like to meet some likeminded people and jam regularly and if it goes well put a band together. Or join an established band who need a good guitar player.
I was considering quitting playing but have decided to give it another go as I do miss being in a band and making music with other musicians.
My main problem is, I don’t drive so transport to rehearsals etc can be issue for me. But I will make the effort for the right band. You can hear songs I’ve played on , in various bands over the last 30 odd years on my soundcloud page. All the bands I’ve played in have played original songs. I’ve never played in a covers band.
I’m more of a “song” guitarist, definitely not a shredder, I like to get a good hook or lead part on a song, less is more most of the time, but I can let rip a bit if it’s called for.
I've played in a few bands over the years, self taught by playing along to records since I was 13, never had a guitar lesson, I can pick up new songs pretty quick by ear.
I like musicians, drums , bass, rhythm guitar, vocals, keys maybe, who can improvise,
If we’re in a rehearsal and find a good beat, guitar riff, bass line, people who can get into that and just run with it and see where takes us…..
Would consider something a bit different, I like bluesy rock but also like spaced out trippy ambient sounds and loud raw stuff , The Who, The Verve, Primal Scream, early Oasis……… from bluesy to Noisy and back again, I have a varied taste in music.
No Metal , heaviest I get is early Led Zeppelin. I’m a young 55 years old, very easy going , no big egos, and I’m very committed if I find the right band or people.
I really am open to anything I’ve mentioned , with the right type of musicians and personalities.
Any of this sounds remotely interesting to anyone, get in touch.
I’m not working just now, due to long term illness, im fit enough to play guitar, so I’m available days and evenings and weekends.

Thanks for reading, if you’ve made it this far.
