Lead Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Saxophone, Keyboard.ABOUT
Like working on bluesy grooves and write some stuff. Play electric guitar based on delta blues rock style. Would like to meet solid exploratory musicians on similar wavelength and have some fun do basic gigs and open mics. Don't have to be maestros - I'm certainly not one. Keeping good time and sounding cool and funky is main thing. Happy with avoiding loads of gear. I live in Claremont and can be contacted at 0422 940 927

EQUIPMENT
I now only use a late model Epiphone Casino Coupe with or without a small amp. I have an emulator to get a variety of sounds amps and cabs. But I like it just as it sounds as well acoustically or through the amp.
