If you have serious interest in starting a band or recruiting me, my AIM is happyjack6string. from there i will give you a phone #. this is my facebook: <http://hs.facebook.com/profile.php?id=755275462> Im a 19 yr old college student. I played as the lead guitarist in my band: Djembe, out of Dover, NH for the last four years, until going away to school. I was the band's creative engine, bringing in most of our song ideas. Together we won our high school battle of the bands. The judges voted me "most gifted guitarist" and presented me with a guitar to add to my arsenal of sonic firepower. My band also won a statewide battle of the bands held in wolfeboro, NH.

I have gigging experience, studio recording experience, and plenty of jamming and compositional experience. I have plain old "being in a band" experience. I love it. I am very serious about music.

IMPORTANT: I can't tour, and my gigging availability is somewhat limited by school. I have no car here. (laughing)Please don't let those things fool you. My commitment would be infinite if it weren't for school and not having a car up here. Music is my gift and i am entirely passionate about playing practicing and composing. I have written some great riffs and have an overflowing volume of song ideas that i think are beautiful. I just need to find people who are excited/ competent like me. Once i run into those people i have a feeling very good things will happen. If it's you, id love to hear from you. I have a very deep love for music and i love jamming with people. It's an art of listening and responding, of letting go and still holding on.

Simply put, I'm looking to find other people who get off on the creative process; people who are interested in joining forces to create dynamic swelling melodic aggressive honest rocking important music powerful enough to give people chills. Let's do it!
