Guitarist looking for band or session gig

Pittsburgh PA

Description

Guitarist for several years, I have pro equipment, transportation, I also teach guitar on the side. What I am looking for: Mainly either a band that needs a guitarist or someone or many who want to start a recording project/band. I mainly like the following: 80s metal: WASP/Motley Crue/Van Halen DLR era/ Shrapnel records guitarist: Jason Becker/Marty Friedman/ Greg Howe/Paul Gilbert/Tony MacAlpine/Merciful Fate/King Diamond, Grindcore: Carcass/Napalm Death/Pig Destoryer, Cephalic Carnage, Black Metal: Emperor/Ulver/Dissection/Krallice/Arcturus Bathory, Swedish Death Metal: At the Gate/Entombed/Dismember/Edge of Sanity/Tribulation, Thrash: Testament/Megadeth/Coroner/ Suicidal Tendenicies/, Industrial: Killing Joke/Ministry, Dark rock:Danzig/Katatonia/AIC/White Zombie/Melvins/ Type O Negative, Gyspy Jazz, etc. I play other genres too and have done Cover gigs with different musicians in other types of bands usually for Arts fests and Halloween sets. I tend to write a lot and have even considered being a ghost writer too if I'm paid for songs. I'm also willing to do some fill-in gigs if need be depending on what it is. What I am not looking for: any type of genre that revolves around 8 string guitars, (I think there's like 3 artists/bands I'll give a mulligan to in that regard but definitely no.) People that don't have reliable gear or transportation, People that can't show up to practice. Pretty simple standards but I'm sure that eliminates a bunch of people that would waste my time anyhow. I'm open to being in a band with anyone as long as you have good work ethic: men or women, just please have some sort of talent and have your shit together (or close as you can).
