I'm mostly a guitarist but I can play most string instruments decently well. I've played professionally as a guitarist, bassist, mandolinist, and singer.
I like to play good grooves and improvise. I'm most proficient in funk, blues, and rock genres but I've also played in Folk, Pop, Jazz, Gypsy jazz, Soul, Bluegrass, Metal, and alternative rock groups. I like all music if it's fun and well played.
Pretty decent technical player but also very happy to sit back in a groove and back people up.
I sing pretty well and can arrange vocal harmonies on the fly.
I can read charts well and can read musical notation slowly.
