SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
REAL Guitar, looking for rocking band for fun and adventure. Prefer originals but covers okay too. Five minutes and you will know I have the chops and tones to bring your music to life. I play entirely by ear and can learn songs completely on the fly. I also know how to play the spaces and let the music breathe. I don't over play.
As further background, I don't do drugs, alcohol or psycho trips. I'm financially sound and work as an attorney with my own practice so I have extreme flexibility to rehearse, play gigs and tour.
I've been playing in bands my entire life and have written and recorded extensively. I am a BMI composer with numerous film music credits. My last gig was playing the role of Brad Whitford in an Aerosmith tribute which toured worldwide. I am currently playing Elliot Easton in a Cars Tribute.
The sample track "Animal" was written and recorded for a recent comedy film for the ending credits. I co-wrote, engineered, arranged, produced and also played all the instruments on this track. The guitar solo section starts at 2:18 and is a Jimmy Page/Dancing Days inspired riff. Cam Girl is a similar project produced for the movie "Attack of the 50' Cam Girl."
