I'm a 36yr old Guitarist who's getting back into playing after too many years spent not playing. I am looking for some "amateurs" like myself to get together and jam with regularly.
I enjoy playing blues, rock and I'm starting to play more acoustic/electric material (folk/rock?) - especially the more-recent work of Mark Knopfler (Boom, Like That - Darling Pretty). I'm also very much open to playing original material of any band-mates as well.
Skill-wise I consider myself an Intermediate-Amateur lead guitarist, although I don't have much experience playing in band.
Ideally I'd like to find a few other mature musicians that would like to get together weekly at one of the local rehearsal studios and jam it up.
Oh, and by "mature" I'm just referring to attitude, I don't care what your ID says ;)

Hi Mike (assuming that's your name from your email)
Sounds like it could be a good fit. Pro Jam is exactly what I had in mind as well (at least from their website, I haven't been to any of their studios...yet).
Is there any particular style(s) of music you prefer? - Mon, 20 Apr 2009 10:23pm
