Wanted - Co-Lead Guitarist for Weekly Jam Sessions

Leland NC

Description

Co-Lead guitarist wanted for blues/rock psychedelic improvisational jam band. We are a group of primarily retired folk who get together weekly for jam sessions on Friday afternoons from noon until about 4pm in Leland. Lineup is lead guitarist/vocal/harp, bassist, keyboardist, drums and sax. We have been jamming in current lineup plus or minus a member, off and on, for about two years or more. We are seeking a good co-lead guitarist (vocals a plus) We do play cover songs but we do not generally play rote note for note three-minute songs. Play Stones, Clapton, “appropriated” old blues songs, The Band, Dylan, Allman Brothers, Grateful Dead and other songs. Open to suggestions. There is a lot of room for open improvisation. That said we are seeking someone who can transform these songs with us and knows how to jam outside the three-minute box and can share the song and let creative juices flow during improv, works well with other players, and knows how to get back into the song when a jam has run its course. You will note there is little to no commercial market….we play primarily to keep our brain neurons firing and have some fun. We do record all our sessions and pass them around to the band the following day. Non-smoking, low pressure, friendly, fun atmosphere and amps are not all at peak volume. We are ALL VACCINATED – I understand your right to refuse vaccination but you can stop reading and move on to the next posting as we cannot have you play with us (one of our members is immune compromised and we are all interested in our own and our family's health as well)....if you have actually read all the above and are vaccinated, curious and still interested in chatting and playing, please provide name, phone number and NON Craigslist email address for a more direct correspondence and audio clips etc.
