Guitar Player Looking to Jam/Start/Join Band ... Whatever ...

Ventura CA

Description

As the title of this ad says, I’m looking to jam, start or join a band. I’m not looking to make it in music. I have a career that keeps me pretty busy, but if the right circumstance opens up, I can find the time to rehearse 2 to 3 times a week and gig on the weekends. However, eating and not being homeless does take priority. :-) I’m down to play covers and originals, but not all of one or another. In fact, I’d prefer more covers to originals as that’s what leads to more gigs. I prefer players between 30 to 50 years old. I’m kind of all over the place when it comes to bands… My top 3 favorite bands are: Queen, Rush, and Faith No More Other bands I like are: Ghost, the Monophonics, Roth-era Van Halen, old Black Sabbath, Lynyrd Skynyrd, STP, Pink Floyd, Pearl Jam, Incubus, Alice in Chains, Chili Peppers, Europe, Morphine, Mad Season, etc. There are too many more to mention lol I am willing to contribute to a lockout room, and actually prefer that over hourly rentals. Not too into schlepping gear back and forth for every rehearsal or jam. I play rhythm and lead, work well with other guitarists, and would love the opportunity to play with a keyboardist. I can play some keys, but it’s not much better than what you would expect from a guitar player who says he can play keys. I have enough gear for pretty much any gigging situation, everything from a 100W Fryette Pitbull, Mesa Boogie Mark IV combo, down to a 20W Mesa Boogie Mark V 25. I have a decent sized pedalboard for various textures; however, unless a song or moment really calls for them, I hardly use any. Below are some samples of my playing. I also have a ton or original ideas too.
