I'm a professional guitarist and educator based in the UK, boasting nearly a decade of experience and playing 80+ gigs annually.

My journey into music and guitar began as a fascination and morphed into a full-fledged obsession during my formative years. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Frank Zappa, Steve Vai, Eric Johnson, and extending to the classic sounds of Lynyrd Skynyrd and AC/DC, my influences have crafted a diverse palette of techniques, licks, and musical nuances.

My firm belief is that to truly learn music, one must listen, immerse, and internalise it. This philosophy ensures that when you acquire a new guitar technique, you can wield it with musicality and creative imagination.

Armed with a first-class degree in popular music, I left university and (around my gigging schedule) I started teaching. For the past 7 years, I've been imparting my knowledge to students across the UK and beyond.

Beyond the online classroom and stage, I've invested considerable time traveling the country and abroad, gigging and refining my craft in front of diverse audiences. This journey has seen its fair share of experimentation, including a more than a few mid-solo string breaks. These experiences have granted me a well-rounded perspective and solid real-world understanding of professional guitar work.

In addition to my guitar journey, I've served as a mix engineer for several years, indulging my passion for top-notch audio quality and delving into the intricacies of why my favourite records sound the way they do. This exploration has significantly contributed to my understanding of guitar tone and optimising equipment.
