helloooo
firstly... i use the term 'guitarist' very loosely .... lets just get that out the way now
well, I'm not really sure what I'm looking for.... but... I need a reason to start playing the guitar again.
I've realised over the past 12 months just how much I'm missing rehearsing and gigging and just want to get back in to it.
my time is limited these days, much like my ability, but I guess I'm basically looking for a covers band ...
my musical tastes are many and varied so I'm not going to list them all.... but when it comes to playing and what it is id like to start/join its got to be rock....heavy....ish
I'm not looking for a 'classic rock' band....Id like to try cover allsorts of things....rock, metal, grunge, punk even stuff that may be considered... dare i say it ?...pop... but all with that hard edged sound and feel of a low down dirty rock band
so...next I guess we need the obligatory bit about me...
I have my own gear (all needs some TLC) I have transport (needs even more TLC) and......then theres me (definitely need some TLC!) ....
my name is Rob
I'm based in Derby
i'm past it at 38....played guitar on and off... (mostly off) since about 18. gigged a fair amount over the years, though I'm by no means a showman. more a 'hide behind whoever or whatever I can' sort of guy. (and I miss being in a band? go figure)
ok... so.... I guess the sort of folks or bands id like to hear from....?
male or female... it matters not...
id also like to say age is of no importance.... but... obviously I'm not some 20 year old guitar prodigy looking to make it big.... and if you've read this far, I'll assume you are maybe in the same boat?
so... yeah....I guess a similar age would be good? tell you what... lets put a tentative figure on it and say maybe 10 years either side of where I am?....yes? so....28-48?... oh... but... that's not set in stone... id consider anything right now
I don't want to be travelling too far for rehearsals.... been there and done that and it soon wears thin....
so....in and around derby for practices would be great. further afield? maybe there could be a half way point and compromise? i'll post this in the Nottinghamshire area too....with a view to find something not too far away as I say....
what else do I need to include?...hmmm.... not sure....
I guess all that's left to do is press 'Post' and sit back and wait for the deluge of emails ay!
(if i get one reply i'll be amazed!)
thanks for stopping by chaps and chap-ettes
regards
Rob
Oh....quick edit....have done this sort if thing before..playing at biker pubs, clubs and rallies, rock pubs, general pubs (set toned down a little playing less of the heavier songs) etc etc...we were never short of gigs....
