About me
My name is Ben and I'm 23 years old. I'm a professional guitarist, though I played drums for 3 years before picking up the guitar. My main styles are classic R'n'B, Funk and Modern Rock though I pride myself on being able to play most any style that involves guitar. Have experience in recording, performing live, dealing with different personalities and styles from hard rock to smooth jazz. If it grooves I love to play it.
