"I'm a LEAD Guitar Player, I live In Des Moines (I got stuck here years ago and have never found a way out). I would Prefer playing in a band in which I was the only guitar player, which is what I've done in the past in every band I've ever been in for the most part. I have No problem with a lead singer playing some second guitar as needed etc. I also have no problem with working with a second guitarist, I am Not saying that I would just flat out Refuse to do so, that is Not the case. I don't mind sharing the lead work, however I prefer to be the one doing the major part of it. I have played for numerous years, I feel and I know I can be a major asset to a working band or one in the midst of creation.
I like hard classic rock, some metal, and even some older flavorful stuff that isn't that heavy or hard. As well, I love a lot of current music. Good GOD there is SO much out there to choose from and there is a whole lotta great stuff goin on that I'd love to replicate. By the way, I pick stuff up with ease for the most part, I play things like Deep Purple, Rush, Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, The Cult, Led Zepplin, The Who, Tool, Creed, Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam, I think you get the idea. I am also wide open to anything that is worth a crap. I like stuff that is a challenge just as long as it isn't totally out of my reach. There isn't a whole lot of stuff out there that is out of my reach, but I do have a few limitations I will be the first to admit. Please just don't ask me to play Country, or even country rock-- it is just Not my thing.
I can Improvise like Nobody's business. I am Very open to doing original music. I also have a decent digital recorder.
I have a practice space, a small PA system (quality stuff and plenty loud for practice-- wouldn't take much to be able to play live with it), a set of pretty nice drums with Quality Zildjian cymbals (No ZBT junk) , some nice keyboard equipment (including a recently re-vamped '50's Leslie speaker! and a Hammond M-3, also a nice Yamaha Portable Grand Piano). I have only quality Guitar equipment, about 8 electric guitars, one acoustic (even though I have no idea how to use it as I am a big electric player and have never gotten in touch with acoustic guitars), two very nice tube guitar amps, plenty of speaker cabinets and lots of effects etc.
Please get a hold of me if this sounds of interest. I am not leaving a phone number at this point in this ad in order to hopefully keep the "tire kickers" at bay.
Thank you for your time
I don't have a big ego, and consider myself pretty easy to get along with in the majority of situations. I have plenty of talent and won't waste anyone's time if that Is what you are seeking. At the same time, I refuse to play with a bunch of amatures, that will not happen. "

I'm not trying to be cocky, but i played in a BAnd, and this dbag ([Invalid or Expired Link Removed] ) was the backup guitarist and i didn't trust him to TUNE MY GUItar let alone play backup. ...
I have no time for anyone that hasn't played in a band for at LEAst 10 years. Seriously people, don't even piss me off by replying cause i am the greatest, most bad ass person that has ever picked up the guitar, and i will not mess around with dbags that suck!!
Don't respond if you meet the following:
1. YOu suck at whatever you play
2. You play on sucky, stupid gear. Only good gear sounds good enough to not piss me off with it's suckiness...
3. You are a stupid guitarist - don't bother, no one is greater than me. Even this guy
