Hi! Technical guitar player with lots of experience. I have been playing for most of my life and have a lot of experience in experimental and progressive genres. I have been into jazz for a very long time now and can play a wide variety of other styles outside of rock or metal. I am looking for really creative musicians that are not looking to pigeon hole themselves before they start writing original music.
