I've been a professional guitarist since 1993 and it's taken me round the world a few times, from a nissen hut in the Falkland Islands to the Royal Albert Hall. Along the way I've recorded, performed or written with artists like Roger Daltrey, Kenney Jones, Tony Hadley, Go West, ABC, Judy Tzuke, Curtis Stigers, Mica Paris, Bill Bruford, Sting's Grammy winning producer Kipper, The Chris Moyles Breakfast Show Band and many others. In between all that, I've written/played music for film soundtracks, tv themes and advertising, taught at London's prestigious Guitar X, been a consultant/demonstrator for Yamaha guitars and written countless books, articles and transcriptions for people like Lick Library, Guitar Techniques and Total Guitar Magazine, so the chances are you've already seen/heard/read me somewhere! Never hurts to keep the feelers out, eh?
