awesome stpfan77. i'm starting to play guitar more again myself... keep in touch if you get serious about this.
Absolutely man. I've been wanting to test the waters for that sort of thing for awhile now. I could play guitar or bass, comfortable with either. I mean, frankly, bass is a bit easier. But then again, Robert's bass lines are pretty bad-ass ... that's a whole other story right there. His bass lines don't just follow Dean's riffs, ya know. He comes up with bass riffs of his own that supplement what Dean's playing and still perfectly fit the song. He's pretty much a genius actually, and doesn't get anywhere near the amount of credit he deserves for how influential and original he has been with his instrument.
Anyway, I can play rhythm guitar but only VERY limited lead. And for singing, I can hold a tune here or there (backing vocs on some tunes, MAYBE lead on a couple), but I am definitely not a lead vocalist by trade. Hell it would be fun just to find like-minded people in the NYC/north jersey area to bang out some STP tunes - even if it doesn't go anywhere beyond that.
I mean honestly, this is something I've had in mind to do going all the way back to the Shanri-La tour in 2001-02, before the break-up. Unfortunately, I never had any friends who happened to be
1) huge STP fans
AND
2) musicians - at the same time.
