Seeking Musicians to Jam

Neenah WI

Description

I'm seeking musicians to jam with on a casual basis. I am a guitarist. I play with a drummer and fellow guitarist/bassist currently. We would like to broaden our network of musicians that would enjoy no-strings-attached private jam sessions. I've attempted to pre-empt your questions below: What kinds of instrumentalists are you looking for? Any instruments are welcome. Rhythm instruments (keys, bass, percussion etc.) is of particular interest to round out the foundation of our jams. Horns, synths, bowed strings, reeds, theremins are all welcome too. I will not be declining any responses based on the instrument you play! So if you're thinking, 'should I respond?'-- do so now! What kind of songs/styles do you jam on? Music that grooves! In the jams we've held, we've played Stevie Wonder, Earth Wind & Fire, Michael Jackson, Kenny Burrell, George Benson, Larry Carlton and tunes out of the real book. We also contribute (and would gladly accept your) original charts to jam on occasionally. Our style and repertoire is expected to expand with you! If you like syncopating, we would like to play with you! Wait, I'm not really strong at reading sheet music or chord charts, can I jam? Contact me! My experience tells me that thorough music education does not a musician make (though it can help to improve the skills of a musician!). If you take pride in your musical craft, when we meet that will be apparent. Wait, I do I have robust musical knowledge, and according to the last question, you are accepting amateurs. Are you guys up to my standards? Yes. We can hang. Both the guitarist and drummer that I play with have had extensive professional playing experience. If you need to play 17/8 quintuplet swung fusion versions of re-harmonized Art Tatum songs to prove your musical skill, then I'm sorry that you have such a need to prove yourself. If, on the other hand, you can play 17/8 quintuplet swung versions of re-harmonized Art Tatum songs, but you deploy your talents to enhancing the sound of whatever song/style you're playing, we want you! Contact me! Context: I'm new-ish to the area and I am seeking my tribe of folks who love playing music.
