SEEKING
Band to Join, Lead Guitar.ABOUT
My name is Piers, I am 26 and I live in Wiltshire. I am a lead guitarist with 15 years experience. I mostly enjoy playing ambient and shoegaze music and have been writing music of these genres for the past several years. I also have experience in both playing and writing pop, indie/alternative, classic rock and some metal music. I have previously been in cover bands and tribute acts, however, what I enjoy most is writing and playing original music with other musicians.
I have a live ready rig including electric guitars (vintage and modern), amplifiers for both practicing and playing live and a pedalboard which I have been meticulously building over the last year and is built for ambient, shoegaze tones both clean and high gain. I�¢??m also familiar with Ableton for basic recording and production.
I have no other music projects at the moment and I�¢??m really keen to meet some musicians, write, record and perform. I have a flexible job working from home and a car I can easily transport my equipment in. Please message me if you would like any more information.
