Hi! My name is Joe, I'm 23 years old and I've been playing guitar now for the best part of ten years. Throughout those years I've had a great time, but I always leant on things like tabs too much and used them as a crutch which has ultimately lead to me not being quite the master I should be this far in, though enough with the negatives. My Fender Player Series Telecaster is my prized possession and I absolutely adore it. Over the past few weeks I've begun taking lessons again to get myself back on track, and I've seen a lot of improvement over this short space of time as I've learned to improvise more effectively and recognize musical keys.
I'm seeking other musicians around the Manchester area to hang out and jam with. I'm not saying "Let's form a band!". I'm currently just looking to meet people of a similar mind as many of my friends aren't as passionate about music as myself. Though if we do end up forming something of a group then I won't complain! I'll list a bunch of bands and artists that have influenced me below, but to get a general idea I enjoy bluesy classic rock, I also enjoy metal but by no means would I call myself a shredder. If we were to meet up, I'd be very interested in hiring out a practice room for a few hours like RedBridge Studios in Bolton or NoiseBoys near Media City.
tl;dr - Intermediate classic rock guitarist seeking any and all musicians to hang around, have a beer with and jam in some practice rooms.
There's a plethora of bands that I enjoy, but when it comes to who I've been influenced by I'll give you a decent list.
To get in contact with me you're probably best off emailing me at Joebrierley95@gmail.com OR if you use Discord, you can add my username there which is Stormchaser#1000. Ideally, I'd like to meet people around my age (So roughly, the 18 - 25 years old range).
