I've been out of action for a couple of years but really looking to get back into music and take it seriously (obviously it has to be fun as well). I'd say I'm a versatile player and constantly evolving and trying new styles. My default playing style is "bluesy". I work well with songwriters. Those I've worked with have liked what I've added to their music. I try not to be a dominant lead guitarist and aim to add whats needed, be that riffs, hooks or textures. I can improvise solos as well. I most enjoy long drawn out jams, as its important to find the right chemistry.
