Band to Join, Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Banjo, Mandolin, Fiddle, Dobro.ABOUT
I've never giged before but if someone is looking for a partner to jam with, or someone to tackle rythm, maybe an easy lead, I'd be interested. I like to play with those better then myself but if you're not, thats okay too (I'm not very good). If you've been playing classical since age 6, you probably don't want to bother with me. ;-) If you've been poking around the internet learning songs one at a time and now want to take the next step and focus on a song or two with the goal of playing an open jam without sucking too much, then we're on the same page.

MUSIC

Wheat Kings Sample
Wheat Kings Sample Genre: Acoustic
Laid down in about 30 mins. Rythm track then lead with me bending over to sing into the mic. This is a hack but I'm just having fun.

If You Could Read My Mind
If You Could Read My Mind Album: Gordon Lightfoot Genre: Folk
A Canadian classic, this is another short exerpt of a great song. Its only the rythm part with no singing (you're welcome). Just one take. Played on a Martin OMC-1E.

Black Bird
Black Bird Genre: Classic Rock
New strings. I don't think I like them. Squealers.

All Me Blues
All Me Blues Genre: Blues
Playing three guitar parts here. The melody is from Blues You Can Use. The backing tracks are your typical 12 bar blues rythms. Recorded using Audacity and going through a PocketPod.

Jesus Just Left Chicago
Jesus Just Left Chicago Album: ZZ Top Genre: Blues
Playing around with two guitar parts. Just a short clip. I recorded the whole song, bar for bar, hoping some day I will add the lead and the singing. It hasn't happened yet. I would love to be able to play this with a singer and a good lead guitarist.
