A Little About Me
I am Jake Skylyr. I am a multi-instrumentalist musician. Guitar and Bass are my primary instruments. I live in central NJ currently, and I lived in Tucson, AZ for about 11 years as well. I am a private guitar and bass instructor in the central-ish NJ area, and I also play guitar and bass in several different projects currently. I am always willing to try new and fun things musically, and I really enjoy jamming with anyone and everyone.
After a few years of plastic guitars of all shapes and sizes, I moved onto the real deal at age 5. I started playing bass when I was about 6. Our family got a piano when I was 9, and I picked that up as well. At 11, I started playing alto & tenor sax. I also started messing around with drums and upright bass at about the same time. More recently I have ventured into some cello (not very well) and mandolin (better). Pretty much if it makes noise, I'll give it a go!
