SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
Guitarist mainly. I like composing songs and recording but am looking to get out and play live a bit more as a guitarist, either electric or acoustic. I'm learning keyboard but probably not that good at it yet as far as live performance goes but would give it a crack if need be! Also play bass in a band occasionally so I've got reasonably good at bass.
This is a previous band I was in where I wrote the songs with the singer, and some of the other instrument parts, recorded the instruments and mixed the EP.

Can hold my own as a backing singer (as long as I'm playing guitar not bass! Can't sing and play bass that well).
