Bio:
I've been playing guitar for 20 years plus and still consider myself a learner. I started recording on a tascam 4 track portastudio ten years ago and have just moved on to Garageband as a means of having more tracks to play with and avoiding bouncing down. I'm happiest playing Blues/Rock but will have a go at anything if it takes my fancy. I think the most useful thing I heard is that you don't "work" a guitar, you "Play" it. It's an instrument, not a spanner. The first band I was in was called "Static" (and indeed never went anywhere) formed at school. Following that, I was in "Mirrorball" and in both bands had the privilege to work with my writing partner John Carlin. Currently working on a semi-acoustic project with Vikki Lea with a view to playing a few gigs.

Music Background I began writing my own music sometime in the mid nineties, with varying levels of success. I know some of my stuff isn't so good but there are others I genuinely like to listen to, for my own entertainment. If other people like it, then that's a bonus! My influences start with The Beatles and work outwards past U2, Eric Clapton, Queen, Chuck Berry and so on. Every so often I'lls tumble across an act that just blows me away and I wonder how I missed them. The last one was Rory Gallagher - A guy from Cork who was a contemporary of Clapton and Hendrix. Check out "Bullfrog Blues" especially.
Music Skills I've been playing guitar for over 20 years and use 9 guitars ranging from a Rickenbacker 330/12 to an Epiphone Casino. I also have a Hofner Violin bass that I use for any basslines although I'm by no means a good bass player! My drumming skills are limited so the loops option on Garageband is a Godsend!
