ABOUT

The path of a musician is often as intricate and nuanced as the music they create. It's a journey of constant learning, practice, and self-assessment. For one such guitarist, the journey began casually, with the strumming of strings during high school days, evolving into a passionate pursuit over the last six years.

This guitarist stands at a crossroads, not a novice but not yet a professional, and is candid about their skill level. I'm somewhere between a beginner and an intermediate player, diligently working to tighten my technique and improve how I play. My commitment is evident with daily practice routine, a testament to hard work and drive.

In the collaborative world of music, finding like-minded individuals to create with is crucial. I'm a guitarist seeks bandmates who share similar qualities: dedication, a no-drama attitude, and a focus on music rather than substances. This approach is not only about personal preference but also about creating a productive and positive environment for creativity to flourish. No drugs.

I've been approached here a few times people thinking I'm a professional guitarist. The honesty with which they present themselves is refreshing. I am upfront about not being a professional—yet I do harbor dreams of reaching that level someday. This self-awareness is a strength, ensuring that potential bandmates know exactly what to expect. It's a trait that speaks to the character of a musician who values the time and aspirations of others as much as my own.

I'll be uploading new material soon. They are not my best or the best recordings.For those who are looking for a fellow musician to learn with, to jam with, and perhaps to grow with, this guitarist extends an invitation.

If you're a band on the lookout for a guitarist who is honest about their abilities and committed to the craft, consider this an open invitation to connect. The next chapter of this musical journey could be just a message away. Let the music play on.
