Been playing guitar for 20 years. Self-taught. Mostly into technical death metal, progressive metal, deathcore and black metal, but studied and play/incorporate other genres such as rock, jazz, blues and classical. Have gig/recording experience.
Focus is on lead guitar but have strong foundation in rhythm and riff-writing. I improvise a lot and understand percussion well.
I can compose music for many instruments, and probably have the equivalent to a few album’s worth of original songs, material and ideas for more. Looking to jump back into the band game or even just collaborate, work as a session artist, whatever.
