Biography

I am 21 yrs old.

Have been playing guitar for about two years.
The time period I have been playing doesn't affect my abilities at all.
I just got back from King of The Blues at 3rd place in Wisconsin.

I can learn new songs rather quickly and have wrote little pieces here and there as incomplete phrases of songs.
But, I am not looking to form a COVER BAND.

I am looking to create a new type of sound through what I play.
I cannot do it on my own however and need a group of people to play with.

I just recorded some simple practice clips of just the guitar on my website.

They are not the best of my abilities by any means. They are just quick posts I did in about an hour to give an idea of how I sound.

If you're interested in looking at what my guitar sounds like, you can visit my website.

The main thing I always try to push is that I can't read notation.
I've never had to because when I hear notes I have the ability to Feel what I play.

I want to go out and play through what I feel, not notes on a piece of paper. I already have this ability, but, playing guitar with no words or drums would confuse people.

Biography

Though I play an assortment of different instruments I prefer to play guitar. I am into all sorts of different genres: jazz, indie, math-rock, post-punk, industrial, jam, alternative, ambient, emo, metal etc, etc, anything original i can appreciate. I enjoy music with a lot of dynamic texture, slow and quiet then progressively getting louder and faster with a climax. I also enjoy more chaotic less structured music. Music that still has coherence but can wander off into newly undiscovered territory that may have never been achieved without trying something new and unique. I am very passionate about what i do musically, finding that chemistry with those who have a similar outlook has been a vigorous endeavor that experience has shown takes both time and patience. I would like to experience a jam with as many different musicians as possible until my hunger for creating music is satisfied with the best possible match. This is a very limited cross-section of bands i am influenced by at this point: Radiohead, Phish, Alexisonfire, American Football, Murder by Death, Appleseed Cast, Early Day Miners, Bear vs. Shark, Coldplay, Incubus, Jimi Hendrix, Mogwai, Mono, Pink Floyd, Saosin, The Album Leaf, The Mercury Program, Tristeza, Evidence, Goo Goo Dolls, Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Logh, Air, John Tesh, Tortoise, Death Cab for Cutie, Victor Wooten, Tool, James Taylor, Yes, The Duo, Don Ross, BT, Lymbic Systym, Opeth, The Six Parts Seven, Sigur Ros, Explosions in the Sky, Jimi Hendrix, Tom Waits, Death Cab for Cutie, Wilco, Clint Mansell etc.... If you want to jam contact Josh by email guitarsmurf22@gmail.com or contact aol username guitarsmurf22.

Biography

Casey's the name. Any other label would be questionable. i play guitar in a band named Reaching Scarlet and am always looking for that next great gig. Sigh. Sometimes they fall in your lap and other times they seem to mock you from afar, but damn if I am not addicted to playing out. Hit me up if you need a band that rocks and melts faces

Biography

Well, I have been playing guitar for six years, I also play keyboard (I'm certainly more adept with a synthesizer than with a piano, though), I also dabble around with the bass guitar and with some conga drums and such. I am a huge fan of Dispatch and of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and I also really enjoy bands like Dave Matthews Band, Incubus, Led Zeppelin, and groups like that. I like to think that I'm pretty open-minded with music, the only real genre I can't handle is screaming metal (stuff like that, at least). I enjoy acoustic music as well as electric-based music, and I play both the acoustic and electric guitars. I think my voice sounds a lot like Chad Urmston from Dispatch, but I'm not sure how I feel about that. I try to keep my style unique to me and not like anyone else's. I really enjoy rap music as well, I listen to artists like Ludacris, Jay-Z, Outkast, etc. all the time. I would say my musical style is kind of a funky acoustic-rock, and I have a natural talent for fitting into whatever style the people I'm playing with happen to have. I love just playing music with people and jamming out, it's my favorite thing in the world.
