I am classical guitarist by training (I busk, but I'm still studying - will get there one day). I have recently started to play electric, mainly blues with a jazz influence - but I prefer to play over Latin-American, hip-hop or jazz beat rather than straight rock. I am more interested in working on new material (though not necessarily mine) or improvising rather than doing exact covers.
