ABOUT

I am Richard, a semi pro musician with plenty of experience playing live.. I have been playing for many years, and are looking for other Musicians to join

I am a well organized musician, understand what is involved with playing gigs. With a large taste and knowledge in Music. When I commit to a project I will stick with it, will turn up, will practice. I understanding maintaining my equipment is important and storing it in a clean dry space. When I play a gig, I take a cable bag with spare cables, strings etc to keep me going in the event of something failing. I am able to take instruction and constructive criticism.

Not suffering with a 'musician complex' makes it pretty straight forward to work with me.

I call upon Guitar Pro to freshen up or learn new songs and playlists. So I work towards playing guitar parts as originally written, and where needed can change the key in which the song are played.

If I say I can, I will..... Then Do.........

I can play lots of guitar parts, but highlights would be (including all riffs and Lead Guitar)

Eagles – Hotel California
Pink Floyd – Comfortably Numb, Another Brick in the Wall
Rolling Stone – Honky Tonk Woman
ACDC – HighWay To Hell

Music like Oasis, Blur, Pulp, Killers, Frans Ferdinand, Stereo phonics, Bryan Adam, Bon Jovi, The Who, Kings Of Leon, David Bowie, Kasier Chiefs, The Beatles, The Who, etc etc (to grab a small list) all well within my playability.
