Guitar Publications
My primary professional work is as an online session guitarist collaborating with musicians over the internet. This year alone I have recorded for clients based in the USA, Canada, Austria, Japan and also the UK where I am based.
From my home studio. I can record HQ session guitar tracks ranging from single rhythm parts through to complex multi-layered arrangements which are constructed to perfectly fit your musical vision. Stylistically I can cover genres ranging from Pop and Funk through to Jazz and Rock/Blues. There are many playing examples on the Video and Session Guitar pages within the site.
For more details on what I could potentially bring to your current or future projects, please visit the Online Session Guitarist page within this website or e-mail me directly using the Contact page.
I have over 25 years experience as a music teacher at higher education level and now offer Skype Guitar Lessons. I specialise primarily in modern jazz guitar styles and improvisational language/harmonic techniques.
I am a former Head of Jazz Studies/Assistant Head of Music at Leeds Conservatoire (a higher education music conservatoire in the UK) and have studied jazz improvisation and harmony with Charlie Banacos and Garry Dial in the US amongst others.
If you are interested in Skype Guitar Lessons, please visit the dedicated page within the website for more information.
If you would be interested in learning other electric guitar styles (outside of Jazz) please do contact me as I also teach Rock/Blues styles.
I am the author of several instructional guitar books (all available on Amazon) and also regularly co-author with music publishers both in the UK and the US.
I have a long running association with the Fundamental Changes music publishing company in the UK and have contributed hundreds of audio examples for their publications, as well as transcribing and copying music scores.
I have also co-authored several instructional guitar books with the same publishing company.
