Here's a quick overview about what I play and who with...

Just emerging back into the scene after an almost 10 year hiatus. Not sure where I am going with music right now but am jamming and getting out there which is a huge step for me. I never stopped playing I just never went out in public and played, haven't done a real band thing since 2000. Last band I played in did 80's and 90's metal, Metallica, Pantera, etc and I was the lead guitarist for the group and to this day that type of music is my favorite. I may be a good candidate for studio sessions if the music moves me. I don't JUST like this kind of music though and have been known to enjoy playing some blues, jazz, bluegrass, and top 40. I do hang at home and experiment with ideas all the time. I am what I call a jam musician. Show me the key/chords/progression and I will make something up on the spot, sometimes awesome, sometimes trash. I also own a cheap drum set and can hold simple beats in a jam scenario. My clock is not impeccable but pretty well oiled. I am not a note for note sheet music or tab musician, I know theory and use it to express myself in my own ways. Lately I have been trying to fall as far outside the musical box as I can with my studies. I can also punt with a bass and harmonica.
