SEEKING

ABOUT

Guitarist/vocalist w/ studio & live experience. Most recently guitarist & vocalist in 3 pc rock band. Lead guitar style tends to be more melodic (Clapton, Gilmour, Harrison) than flash (I'm no shredder). I consider my rhythm playing to be one of my strong suits. Equally comfortable with ld & harmony vox. Vocal style is mostly clean (not ACDC although I wish I could do it!) with high range (i.e. Beatles/Eagles style & range)
