Band to Join, Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Keyboard.ABOUT
I have had a guitar all my life but did not really take things seriously until about 7 years ago. Then my son started taking guitar lessons at school which was pretty sh*t as they could not really bothered and the school guitar was aweful. So I bought him a decent guitar and hired a proper guitar tutor. He turned out to be lead guitarist of a popular national touring rock tribute band. I thought "why should my son have all the fun" so I started having lessons as well. He refined my playing and, at the end, we just jammed all lesson long! Great, but an expensive way to do it. So I joined a local band playing classic rock. We did three gigs, all of which went down really well. In fact the landlady of one of the venues said I was probably the best guitar she had had there. The band broke up but I really want to play again and have some fun!
