More info:

I want to learn together and apply as a band or 2-5 musicians and also to be able to JAM and explore, have fun and if you are into working out song lists together in i.e. BAND setting or with other interesting musician(s).... with PATIENCE, effort, practice = excellent result. I can read some standard music + most tablature + by ear, possibly write music if I want to.

My goal : Getting back into the groove after a intermittent break .. RSI type problem. Work on set-list as it appears while having fun though with musician(s) or band. I am also getting settled permanent in the West Port Credit area from Hamilton and Toronto area.
