chase_p_a's profile

I am a good piano and OK Hammond organ player, or tolerable second guitarist, based in Cambridge, looking for local musicians to jam and maybe gig with.

I'm 38 years old myself, but would hope to fit in with all types from 25ish up to real old-timers. I am experienced at playing with a band, and am currently in one (aged 30-55), with past and forthcoming modest local gigs. I'd have time for another band, though, don't worry.

I can improvise an accompaniment pretty well, and write my own tunes, too. I do read music and tab, but not terribly well - I'm happier to make something up from the chords, lyrics and feel of the piece. The music that I listen to is mostly indie rock and punk, but I tend to play pop, classic rock, blues, even folk (should I admit that?).

I play guitar, too, but haven't been doing that for so long. I've been playing plenty of rhythm guitar recently and can fill the second guitarist slot acceptably, these days.

At a pinch, I can drum a bit. I keep good time, but it's strictly basic stuff. Useful when the real drummer no-shows, perhaps?

Like many keyboard players, I'm good with the technology and know my RMS from my elbow. There's a few of my home-made gadgets in our band's current kit.

I've been working on singing recently. Nothing special though.

I have amps, stands, drum kit, a dedicated music room and surprisingly tolerant neighbours.

There are some recent recordings at [url]http://www.myspace.com/peteplayspop[/url] and some rather old original MP3s at my Web site of [url]http://homepage.ntlworld.com/peter.chase[/url] . I make no great claims for their quality, but it shows I can play a bit and work the technology!
