This album has my attention at the moment - one word, MONSTROUS! Beautiful music.
I love the tone of my USA Deluxe Telecaster through the mighty THR100HD!
After much preparation and the upgrading of my home studio, I’m now looking to offer limited availability in my Saturday School for 1:1 guitar and ukulele lessons, hopefully in May once given the all clear from the government.
Such a great setup for productivity and workflow!
My tribute to Mr. Edward Lodewijk Van Halen - not an attempt to impersonate, but an attempt to embody my learning from, and appreciation of him over the years. A tremendous guitarist, the impact of which is unlikely to be felt by any future generation.

All you need in life is friendship, love, guitars (and everything that GAS brings), music, intrigue, a decent set of knives, quality produce and a black chefs jacket. A decent west coast IPA is a worthy accomplice, too. #love #life #stop #trying #to #please #anyone #but #yourself #lovewhatyoudo #otherswillfollow

A little something I’ve started transcribing. This intro section is a big left hand and upstroke/accent work out! Do you know the riff?
A little project I set myself; to learn and transcribe the sax solo to Clarence ‘Gatemouth’ Brown’s ‘Without My Baby’. It was a lot of fun, and full of musical vocab and approaches that I’d never experienced before.
A student of mine is struggling with legato technique, and rather than spend hours looking for an appropriate song or lick to study, I wrote a solo study for them. I love having the time to do things like this!
