ABOUT

First the whole point of this is that I am looking for people to play with. Not to sure where this may lead to but if any of this resonates with you, please reach to me and say hello.

I am 62, married, reliable and just retired. Lots of free time these days and I am putting it into music. I played guitar as a kid then put it down a few years after high school. Career and kids and all that … does that sound familiar? Picked it up again a while back and working at it again. I am far from pro but would consider myself a solid intermediate player. I've been working at getting better consistently over the last number of years. I think I am equally adept at rhythm vs lead guitar and am comfortable with diving into music theory. The last couple of years I have got into singing. Mind you I have a lot to work on with regards to vocals. My wife is the one with the good vocals. Been getting into Bass also the pass few years and enjoying it .... mind you guitar is my primary instrument.

My early pandemic project was the build a great jam space. The hope is to play more with people and form some good reliable supportive friendships. I don’t need to make money form this nor do I have any huge desire to gig non-stop for fame or ego. Mind you I am OK with playing out from time to time. No craziness or drama is important. When I do get involved in things, I tend to be very committed. Contact me at johntremblay101 at ho tmail dot com

Influences

Interested in a wide range of music. Mostly tend to play classic rock to blues to pop to some country. I have spent a lot of time putting together a lot of good chord charts. Mainly did this to get better at songs and not to be that noodling guitar player guy. I am a big fan of song structure. The charts also help a lot to keep everyone together when you are playing with new people and new material.

EQUIPMENT

Not much of an equipment junkie .... but I have what is needed. Bass amp, guitar amps, PA and drums. Right now, have a Roland TD-17kvx setup through the PA. Seams to work pretty good for controlling the volume for practice and jamming (and it works great for myself learning drums). Mind you I get it that some drummers may not like electronic drums. The space is a pretty good practice space, but I am not at all adverse to playing at your place or joining an existing group.
