ABOUT
am a guitarist and vocalist
I have many years of experience playing in a band; played at several music festivals; a live radio station performance/recording session; played at several private functions. I have also performed solo at many open mic events. Used to sing at Karaoke regularly as well and currently practice singing regularly.
some samples of my guitar playing are posted and activated here. I am more of an improvisational guitarist rather than a "cover" guitarist, though I can do both.
songs that I sing (lead and or harmonies) are also posted on this system and can be activated.
am committed to playing well- continuously learning- keeping it fun.
currently jam with a few musicians on a casual basis and seeking others as well. Am interested in a wide range of musical styles. I like to compose my own songs, I like to improvise and am inspired to explore musicianship. Additionally I like to play covers of many classic rock original solos-that are always a "work-in-progress".
some of my values include: respect, dedication, patience, tenacity.
I sketched the bathing suit gal Observational drawing on school notebook paper years ago.
a female artist friend of mine did all of the other sketches posted here..
Thanks,
Will
