...amount of gigging experience - decades in fact.
Seeking rock/pop/blues band - ideally established with gigs. Probably not funk - my fingers get stuck in the strings after a while. I don't mind some country stuff - but I would stress my wife has not left me - and my dog is still alive.
Pros
1. Any amount of gigs, any venue, any amount of rehearsals.
2. Fast learner.
3. Ultra reliable.
4. I will play any song - I might moan a bit - but I will play it!
5. Happy to travel - I know venues are getting fewer these days so happy to drive.
6. I can demolish walls or serenade butterflies - whatever suits.
7. Couldn't care less about money - as long as band is equitable it doesn't matter to me.
8. Busy - or root - but prefer busy - I promise to play some of the correct notes...
Cons.
1. I look boring.
2. My BV's are average at best but I will do what I can.
3. My hearings shot (drummers eh) so you may have to shout a bit.
4. I like arguing.
5. No you don't.
6. I hate saxophones.
7. If you are after a 20 yr old hipster - it aint me.
8. I play 4 string - not 5, or 6 - or, indeed, a Chapman stick.
Current band looks likely to fold soon - which is a great shame - I do some deps - but not enough to keep me out of the house as much as my wife would like me to be - so - if there is anything out there - who knows. I can point you to YT vids first so there is no embarrassing - 'who the fk is he' at audition.
I have had some great replies so far - but nothing yet quite suits - so it may take a while. Nice chatting to you.
Pip pip.
