Non professional guitarist seeking band mates

Spring Valley IL

Description

I've been playing guitar on and off for about 20 years. Never took lessons, but I can make noises that sound good/ unique. I've been coming up with my own songs lately and am looking for some guys to jam with. Not interested in doing covers at this point. I mostly listen to 80s and 90s rock and grunge... alice in chains, metallica, etc. But I'm open to any music that sounds good and has soul, something I think modern music is lacking. Looking for anyone that plays an instrument or sings, and that might want to mess around and try to make something happen. No commitments or shows or anything like that at this point, maybe in the future. Just looking to take my songs to the next level, and if you have songs too, even better. I live in the spring valley area. Would prefer to stay local. I have a full time job, wife and kids. Not a lot of free time, but I find that I'm spending most of the free time i have playing guitar. Not looking for pros, but if you are a professional, you're more than welcome to join. Not crazy on the hard drugs (not a deal breaker though if it works for you), but alcohol and pot are fine, and in most cases, encouraged lol.
