!!Lead Guitar Needed!!

Mesa AZ

Description

Hello! We just lost our lead guitar (great player/guy; left on good terms) and are looking to find the right fit. Must emphasize LEAD guitar. Goal is to gig 1-2x per month. The band presently has a high energy lead vocalist, bass player and drummer with good harmony skills and a solid rhythm guitar who plays a few leads. We are all in our 40’s/early 50’s, young at heart, no drama and get along very well with everyone contributing in their own way. We enjoy practices. Sometimes crack a few beers No one is doing this for the money. We do it because we like playing and the money just makes it a bit more fun. Three out of the four of us have plenty of gigging experience and some contacts to get out playing as soon as we’re ready. Our tastes are diverse but rooted in good classic rock and 90’s with some added diversity to keep audiences engaged (everything from Al Green to AC/DC). Acoustic sets may be in the future as well. We want (mostly) songs that make the audience respond (dance, sing, etc.). Of course sometimes you just want to play it because you like it. We have a PA and all the equipment needed for performances. Must be committed to 1 practice per week (weeknights; currently Wednesday nights; we’ve never practiced on weekends). We have a free location to practice in the area of Country Club/Guadaloupe. Practices start at 7pm and we usually play til about 10pm. About you: COMES PREPARED, good attitude, flexible, open minded, good energy, mid 30’s or older preferred, experienced playing live is a plus, not afraid to provide constructive input/feedback, quick starter, background vocals a plus, solid tone, cognizant of balanced volumes and plays acoustic as well. All members have a say in band activities (song selection, gigs, practice dates, etc.). The songs w/ an asterisk next to them are the songs you would be playing leads. You don’t need to play the solos as the original artist played them. Good improvisation is fine! We tune down to Eb for all songs. We are ready to play out! Just looking for the missing piece.
