Guitarist Available, Inspiration Sought...

Post by Hellwig »

Struggling with keeping interest & inspiration practicing in bedroom, so i'm looking for a band to join and/or other players to jam with. Car stolen recently so no wheels atm. West Auckl.

Play & listen to: rock, hard rock, metal, guitar instrumental, occasional 80's pop. GnR, Satriani, Nirvana, Led, Zep, AC/DC etc. Put up a few Satriani cover YT vids a few years ago, view them here:

Sucks about car theft, thieves are shit. But as others have said, you almost need to list a car as part of your essential equipment these days, right after guitar and amp.

I have some great memories of being in a band and not owning a car... Always had a drummer with a car at least, else we'd never have got to gig.

At school I just had a little 10w practice amp, but remember cycling to School with my bass over my shoulder

At uni In Dunedin, once carried a ~20kg amp and bass from Caversham to North East Valley, got a cab there, couldnt afford one back the other way ... according to google maps thats 6.6kms. In hindsight, bloody glad it didnt rain.

After a gig at the Vic uni student bar - Eastside? I carried my amp and 2 guitars back to my flat in Aro valley - that was a pretty short walk, but the amp I had then was about 30kg, so I remember stopping a few times.

somehow never really felt like I needed a car till I got to Auckland... not sure I'd be doing too much walking with my gear up here though. Its 45ks from home to where my band practice, with no bus route at the far end.

For many years, our Drummer had a huge kit and an Aston Martin. When asked how he reconciled the two, he would look all innocent and say, "I have a very dear guitarist friend with a Hilux." :rofl:
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Back in Italy, I used to get around in a scooter. The amp had a 12" speaker and sat on the footrest behind the shield. Bass on my back. No worries.

I wonder what the story would be with that in NZ. Because I just know one would get in the shit.
