Hi Cameron,
You seem like a genuine, smart guy - I would be interested in joining your band. I'm David, 17, can play lead or rhythm guitar, and might be getting a bass for christmas, so whatever you need, I'm down for it. I have over 8 years of experience of playing guitar, so I have no problem with technique and rhythm, however I've still got a lot to learn in terms of songwriting and improvisation, but joining a band would greatly increase my motivation to do so.
I'm also considering getting vocal lessons soon so could further contribute in that way, as backing vocalist or a lyrics writer. In addition I'm pretty familiar with recording and audio engineering, though by no means an expert.
I love metal and don't mind hard rock either, I'm pretty open-minded and love experimenting with different sounds. My favourite bands at the moment include August Burns Red, Silent Planet, All That Remains, As I Lay Dying and Fit for a King, though I'm still discovering loads more.
I see you live in Ballyclare; a bit of a distance away (I live in Portstewart) but that's no problem; I'd be happy to get the train down.
I've no problem with team-work and/or speaking and communicating, and am eager to voice my opinion without being too harsh but at the same time I can think critically and objectively. As for creativity, that's for others to judge, but I am eager to spend long periods songwriting and getting ideas together - I really love the process. I've pretty good problem-solving skills from studying maths, physics and computing, if that helps. I'm always willing to learn whatever I need for the benefit of the band.
Add me on Facebook and we can discuss this further:

Also, check out my Youtube for an idea of my level of playing, only one video up so far as I've started a new channel but more will be up soon:

Best wishes,
