Hey I'm a 25 year old guitarist. Looking to join or start an originals band.
I'm in a couple bands currently; a FF tribute and an originals band but have time for more!
Musicians I know and play with aren't massively into what I'm looking to do so thought I'd look here.
I watch lots of YouTube based musicians like rabea massad, Ola England, rob Chapman, Pete thorn, fluff, rick beato, jhs pedals. Kmac2021 (if you like him we'd get along just fine!) haha!
Bands I listen to lots would be Mastodon, black peaks, arcane roots, Sumer, gojira, Dryjacket, pine grove, QOTSA, Toska, red fang Foo fighters, biffy, periphery, press to Meco, alexisonfire as well as loving lots of classic rock, grunge, prog and old school hip hop. Lots of guitar based music and a little bit of everything but when i play it leans towards more alternative/rock/metal/emo (pretty broad but not sure how else to explain it)
So I'd say percussive riffy aggressive music with catchy emo tendencies? Sounds terrible but if you think you'd like to jam or have a band looking for a guitarist let me know.
I've lots of gig experience from pubs to large venues and festivals.
I have transport, decent gear and I am financially stable and reliable.
I'm quite a capable player and played for nearly ten years but no vocals unfortunately (but it's something I'd wish to improve on and be able to bring to the table). Not exactly a shredder but thats not really my aim. I have been recently taking lessons to improve theory amongst other things.
Im pretty chilled out with no ego, I want to play in a band as I enjoy gigging and jamming and want to better myself as a musician and have fun doing it. I am happy to put the time into it If it's right too.
Sorry for a long ad but thought it would save lots of questions!
I'm up for a casual meet up before and jam if that's easier. Let me know if you want to start something like this or think I'd be a suitable guitarist in your band.
Tom.
