Hey all,
I am pretty avid guitar player, looking to start or join an originals or cover/gig band(s). Been working on/writing mostly instrumental music recently very much in the Jazz/fusion/world/Latin idiom. Super keen to kickstart something in that direction but I am also keen to play Rock, Metal, funk, Reggae (grew up in Hawaii, so played a lot of reggae) basically anything with good people who wanna play there asses off and have a good time. I can read sheet (on the spot sight reading needs work still) music and know my theory very well.
