ABOUT

Long time player looking for good people to regularly Jam with. Probably play some covers, do some creative interpreting of said songs (or play them as they were originally intended), electric or acoustic, write some original music, expand some horizons… I’m fairly open and accepting of all kinds of people. Not overly fussy about the specifics, not judgemental of people, just looking for quality people who mutually want to push and be pushed to be better musicians and people.
Feel free to hit me up.


As a side note, I also work on guitars. Setups (truss rod, action, intonation, string gauge change), fault diagnosis and (where possible) resolution. Upgrades eg tailoring pickup choice, pot and filter cap choice to suit desired result. Hardware upgrades (tuners, bridge, tailpiece, saddles), aesthetics where possible. Cleaning of dirty instruments. Msg me and I’ll see what I can do to help.
