Hi! Welcome to my channel!
This channel will be the place to go for free tuitional videos and links to transcriptions and backing tracks available through Patreon.
I've been teaching guitar, performing, and working in music education since I graduated in 2003.
I'm really keen to share my passion for guitar playing with you.
My specialisms are electric and acoustic blues, particularly finger style and rag time guitar. I love vintage sounding gear, and I'm quite nerdy about old Fenders.
I hope you enjoy the channel.

New blues on a bench piece coming along tomorrow. I’ve been learning about colour after my wife told me my shots needed more warmth. Here is the last BOAB in D, and a shot from the new one. I hope you’ll agree my hands look less dead in the new one ☝️

I am still feeling numb at hearing the news of Kelly Joe Phelps passing. Rest easy Kelly and thank you so much for the music. I still imagine you to be playing banjo somewhere deep in the woods, growing vegetables, moving very slowly, watching as the seasons change. 💔
