ABOUT

Hey, I'm a lead singing drummer! Also a lead guitarist. I have a bass player, just need a guitarist that has some skills with lead solos, tight palm muting and pinch harmonics. Melodic hard rock/metal is the style I’m playing. I already have 6 originals written & recorded, they’re on social media: YouTube, Spotify, ITunes, Soundcloud and Bandcamp, under the title Marlon McDonald Project. I'm looking for a hard rock guitarist that is keen to do some gigs and help out the project/band. You will start off as more of a session guitarist, but by doing gigs you will still be getting exposure and experience. Later down the track you could be involved in some of the songwriting as well, if it all works out. Just need someone who is reliable, keen, enjoys the style, and can fill in when I need them, and can obviously play that 80s rock/metal style. The songs are technically not really that hard, mainly just the guitar solos that can be a bit tricky, that’s basically it.
