There's plenty of guitarists to go around, but I figured I'd throw my hat in the ring anyway. I mainly play lead, can do party tricks like sweep-picking and hybrid-picking, but I'm just as happy playing 3-chord rhythm to be honest. Not much of a singer, but I could maybe do some backing vocals in a pinch, with a lead vocalist to carry me. I lean towards punk, rock and metal, that's not a deal-breaker though, I'm open to plenty of genres, even if it means whipping out the acoustic.
I've got decent enough gear; a Blackstar HT 60 Soloist amp and a POD HD500x pedal, and more guitars than anybody would need; electrics, nylon-string, steel-string, a 7-string with a trem and kill switch, you name it. I'm happy to travel, preferably not too far, but for the right band I'm sure I'd make an exception. Oh and I'm at grade 8 and have a 1:1 BA (Hons) degree in music, not that you need qualifications to jam and have fun, but the paperwork is there if it was demanded for some odd reason.
Here's a video of me noodling some shreddy improv to a backing track;

And another one of me playing Metallica's "Fade To Black" solo live with a band earlier this year;

And just to mix it up a bit, some flamenco classical finger-picking a few years back;

So yeah, in the unlikely event a band needs a guitarist with so many to choose from, let me know.
