Hi,
I'm a french guy who recently arrived in Newcastle. I used to play in a band and did a few gigs, and I wish to start playing with others again as I do miss this ! Playing music on stage and give happiness to people is one of the best feelings you can get !
I don't consider myself as an expert guitarist, but after more than 10 years of guitar I can play fairly good. One of the downside I have, which I'm currently working on is shredding. Other than that I can play mostly everything from acoustic finderstyle (look for Andy Mckee-Drifting on youtube) to progressive rock. And of course classic rock, alternative, indie, pop, metal, hard-rock and so on. Actually I'm in a prog-psychedelic-rock improvisation phase.
I wish to join any kind of band, with a rock influence. But I have to say since a year or two, I am discovering a new style of music called synthwave or retrowave. (Look for New Retro Wave channel on youtube you will have a good selection of this style) It's basically, electronic music that use 80's drum beats and sounds with up-to-date sound processing. And eventually I wish to create music that blends real guitar to this kind of music! There is already some people doing it, and it sounds awesome here a few titles:

So if you are looking for a guitarist, who's open minded on music, and has a different music background that could bring new idea to any rock band, I might be the one for you. Just let me know and I'd be happy to come for a try-out
