Don't know if this is the right forum but here goes...
Hi. I’m 55 and been playing guitar for many years. I have a day job and family that take up most of my time. Music is my hobby.
I'd like to find a similar age guitarist (acoustic or electric), bass player (electric or standup), drummer in the central Denver area for jamming, etc.
I have a small 5 watt tube amp that CAN get surprisingly loud but I run it clean and at low volume. I seldom play with distortion anymore but can (I use a pedal for overdrive). I mainly play my tele clean with just a little reverb (occasionally tremolo).
I play folk/rock/country/blues, basically old school hippie music. The standard classic rock suspects are influences. However – I do like to play mainly originals. I have a bunch of original tunes (with lyrics) and would be more than happy to work on/play your originals OR write new originals with you as well. I like jamming and stretching a song out.
As far as covers go, I am not against them but I’d rather do more originals than covers. Also I generally prefer reimagining a cover rather than trying to play it note for note. I can “sing.” I’ll leave it to others to decide how well. But am very open to others taking on some or most of the vocal duties.
No drugs, but a beer or two is fine with me. Mainly want to get together and jam. Wouldn’t mind recording some stuff (just with a computer, etc. in the "basement" not in a "pay" studio). I am not opposed to playing out (and have in the past) but would want to keep it pretty low key and strictly for fun (again this is a hobby – I’m not trying to make money with this).
About drums – my ideal is someone with just snare and hats (or a very small kit) who plays with brushes or rods and with a very light touch. I play at low volumes (somewhat louder than acoustic levels but not a lot) as I blew out my hearing as a youth. Not looking for anything fancy, just someone who can put it in the pocket and swing a little.
Again I live in central Denver, work days – nights and weekends are when I can get together. I just play in my basement so no “practice space or studio.” But certainly room for 3-4 people to get together and jam at reasonable volume. If you have a better space and aren’t hell and gone, I’m up for coming to your place.
As you might guess by now – low key, no drama, kicked back fun is what I’m looking for. So all you 40, 50 and 60 somethings let’s get together and make some music.
