bullies watch out I play the guitar and write my own songs and am looking for a bassist or guitarist to work on and record songs together. Recordings are also possible because my living room is more of a home studio than a living room... For the sake of simplicity, I would put genre in the alternative rock category. Listing my favorite bands here would go beyond the scope because I listen to too much different stuff from thrash metal, hardcore or grunge to trash, black & death metal, so I'll just leave you my top 10 here so you know with which kind of person you have to do it^^; Dinodaur Pile Up, Local H, Failure, Foo Fighters, Hum, Finch, Weezer, Nirvana, Superheaven, Black Sabbath... Oh yes and I play in Eb or Drop C# Tuning if anyone is interested... And please do not be (falsely) shy for fear of supposedly insufficient skills! I play relatively shit myself because I've had a kind of on/off relationship with my guitar for "reasons" in the last few years... But to conceal that there are overdrive, distortion & fuzz pedals. Also, I think you don't have to be Joe Satriani to write good songs. I even find that the opposite is the case. Or do you know a virtuoso Super Shredder who has written one or more mega hits? Even! Neither do I. In this sense I have nothing more to say than keep on rockin in the free world (if you know that is cool) and I hope that one or the other nerd feels addressed in this way. If you have any questions, just write or call. Kind regards, Peter ;-)
