SEEKING

Band to Join.

ABOUT

I’m more enthusiastic than good. I also tend to sell myself short, but I’m not exactly a very experienced guitarist.
I always tried to learn guitar but gave up after a couple of years.
When the pandemic started, I bought a guitar and started all over again. And now I’ve been playing more consistently. I take classes every week… and I’m still learning and have a long way ahead of me.
I can play rhythm guitar and some solos.
I love funk, blues, rock, soul and Brazilian music - samba, baião, forró.

Even though I’m old, I wouldn’t mind joining a band with younger people. I’m a chill person, who loves sports, I still skateboard, so I’m pretty open minded.
However, I don’t have as much free time as when I was in my 20’s. But since I don’t have kids, the only things that demands my attention is work and my wife - who is really supportive btw.
