Describe your musical background and interests.

Very strong ability with guitar. Electric guitar is all I have available at Brown. I have played in prog metal, pop, rock, metalcore, and creative arrangement ensembles. I play a wide variety of genres and am comfortable working in group settings. I'm kind of bored of all the folk, pop, and punk bands I hear around here and would like to make something better.

Any Additional Information

I really don't like pop music though I can do it. If you want to do something interesting- progressive, experimental, metal, or anything along those lines (not necessarily altogether, but better if), you won't find a better guitarist. I'm ok at bass and percussion. ---
