Looking For

Hi, I'm Mackie Mak, age 24, and I've been playing guitar for 17 years, and I've also been looking for the right musicians for years and years haha! This being in a group thing has been my dream since the first time ever heard Malcolm Young's unbelievable playing :) I've got all my own equipment (I mainly play through a Vox/Marshall setup), but have no band experience, and people don't want that for some reason lol You've gotta start SOMEWHERE! I'd prefer to start my own band up but willing to join an existing one :)

Anyway, I very much prefer rhythm guitar but can do some lead, and sing of course :) I've got a ton of originals I've been putting together since 3rd grade lol!

Bio

Besides guitar, there's nothing else I'm any good at lol but I can sing almost anything in a Cartman impression haha... No drugs, drinking or anything else- I'm completely clean. Other than that, I can write decent lyrics, improvise, and play a little bit of hand drums. I'm a huge dreamer, very easy to get along with, kind of a goofball sometimes, but once I find the right musicians I will be COMPLETELY committed :)
