SEEKING

ABOUT

Music has been an integral part of my life for all of my life. Listening to a wide variety of music beginning at a young age on my parent's hi-fi and seeing music put to screen in the early eighties immersed me to the wide varieties of styles out there.
Guitar began at 13 years old and has continued on since then. Still not content to just play, I study theory, applications of fretboard mechanics and how I can apply voicings to make sounds that fit the parts best in the context of the song.
I do work alternating shifts (nights, afternoons and days), so my times of availability to rehearse are influenced by this.
