ABOUT

Hey there!

I'm 36 and have been playing guitar for 16 years. I mostly want to play lead/fills for now but I can also play some rhythm too.

You can also check out more tunes, and musings on creativity & music on my site, Nacho del Sol: www.nachodelsol.com

I'm looking for a band or singer/songwriter that needs a lead guitarist or for musicians who want to jam with the intention of writing songs and maybe doing some covers. I prefer to play with people between 24 and 45, but am open to ages outside that.

Although my roots are in rock, these days, I listen to a lot of electronic music, mostly chillout and deep house. If there are any electronic artists who need a guitarist, I would love to meet up! I'm also open to playing in a rock group that wants to do something different...original sounds, creative song-writing, writing songs that inspire....

Other instruments I dabble in:
-piano/keys/synth
-hand percussion

I'm willing to try my hand at lead or backing vocals as well.

I'm pretty chill and looking to play with people that we connect both musically and on a personal level. I would like to play with musicians that don't drink/do drugs excessively, just in moderation or rarely. I try to keep my ego in check and enjoy playing with people that are down-to-earth.

I want to play:
-creative rock (perhaps fused with electronic music)
-lead guitar or fills for a singer/songwriter
-chillout/ambient (could be blues/jazz/world music influenced)
-something new?

If what I've written sounds interesting to you, send me a message!

-Nigel
