Experienced Guitarist Available!

Austin TX

Description

Hey, y'all! I arrived in Austin 2-weeks ago looking to get working with experienced talented professional musicians! I have 40+ years of guitar playing experience, and 25 as a professional with excellent, tone, time, feel, and improvisation skills performing Blues, Rock, Metal, Pop, Country, Americana, Folk, Funk, Soul, Reggae, New Orleans, Fusion, Jazz, and Brazilian. Enjoy over 40 audio and video samples of my guitar playing at: www.johnchapmanguitarist.com. John Chapman Band - Josie (Live@Asilomar, Carmel CA - Oct 15th, 2019) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cPxU4terA8 John Chapman Band - Come Back Jack (Live@Asilomar, Carmel CA - Oct 15th, 2019) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NR54StFPPFY I'm a quick study, 'sight-read' chord charts/lead sheets very well (melodies okay), have great ears, team player, have positive energy, play for the song and situation, have reliable transportation, am healthy, professional, and NOT into drinking, drugs, and partying on gigs. Also, I'm a singer-songwriter and can sing lead, and looking to get harmony singing better under my belt. I give 100% on every music performance guaranteed, whether it's performing for 2-10 people in a small club, or on a big stage for 500-2,000+ people!!! I love music with a strong groove, dynamics, solid melodies, hip listener-friendly harmony, lyrics that tell stories and paint pictures, deft instrumental performances, powerful heartfelt vocals, cool arrangements, and strong compositional integrity - well crafted, catchy, and hit songs in all genres are fun to perform and create! Hire me to: 1) Perform guitar for your fun good-paying gigs, clubs, festivals, private events, recording sessions, and tours! (last-minute sub – no problem!) 2) Songwriting/Co-writing sessions, producing, and arranging 3) Music notation - I will create "great" professional lead sheets for your songs with my Sibelius notation software I'd love to hear about your awesome project so please send me links to audio/video samples of your music. Thanks so much for checking out my post!!! I look forward to connecting. Let's have fun and make some exceptional music! John www.johnchapmanguitarist.com
