WORKING GUITARIST W 39 GOLDPLATINUM CREDITS SEEKS UPGRADE
I am a guitarist from NYC via Nashville the past few years that has been in SOCAL a few months. I play with several weekend warrior level bands in Sothern California and have a decent calendar. I am looking for PRO work and sessions so I don't have to commute to NYC and Nashville.
I don't care what I play for the most part. However, the are certain restrictions as follows:
1. Pros only, no one with day jobs.
2. Road (even casino) gigs are fine provided the compensation justifies the time.
3. No bands that require repetitious rehearsals.
I am sure everyone that reads this post will own vinyl, cd, or video from some of the many household name acts for whom I have played live or in the studio. Here is a link: http://www.joeysixstrings.com
Partial and Random List of Live and/or Recording Credits including some oldies acts that had their biggest success in the late 1980s, which is when I played with them: I am not particularly oldies oriented but these were very god paying gigs for which I was frequently the musical director as well as the guitarist.
