"..Technique is the ability to translate your ideas into sound through your instrument. This is a comprehensive technique...a feeling for the instrument that will allow you to transfer any emotional utterance into it. What has to happen is that you develop a comprehensive technique and then say, Forget that. I’m just going to be expressive..."  Bill Evans

 

Welcome...

Many thanks for visiting my website....I hope you find it interesting and informative. I am an electric  guitarist and a music educator based in the United Kingdom. I started this website some years ago now with the simple intention of making it an environment where I could share some of my recorded music with a larger (hopefully worldwide) audience and also offer some segments of musical theory for anyone who might be interested.

There are a number of musical subsections within the site (the navigation panel is on the left hand side of each webpage) which cover everything from Harmony to Improvisation. Many playing and practice tips are included within these pages which I hope you will find useful.

By exploring the site I hope that you will be able to gain some insight into the music that particularly appeals to me and how I approach playing it.

I truly hope you enjoy your visit here.

Latest News - January 2008

I am back to almost normal activity with the website after a very long time without any site updates and all sorts of problems with hackers. My grateful thanks must go to my web hosting company who finally managed to rescue things for me. 

I have some new audio files ready to be added to the site and also some upgrades to the various pages, all of which I hope to be uploaded over this next week.

As always, my grateful thanks to all of you who have written to me about the site - I am very appreciative of all your support and encouragment.

Btw...I also now have a page on the 'MySpace' Music Network. This page can be found at:
