Very interested in fingerstyle playing, but not exclusively. If Mark Knopfler can get away with it, so can I!
Expertise in sound, analogue and digital electronics, studio recording, computer DAWs, analogue and digital mixers.
Intrigued by some strange music, not in the mainstream, but in your face, or at least, in mine: the theme to Black Books; the jazzy riffs in the Kominsky Method, really get my attention.
Different strokes, different beats, different harmonies. I'd say I was into improvisation if I was able to play better!
Love a lot of crap: Beatles, Be Bop Deluxe (apart from Nelson's singing), and, God help me, stuff from the forties. Yes, OK, shoot me.

Influences
Bert Jansch, more recently Jon Gomm and many other modern fingerstyle players heard at the Canadian Guitar Festival and elsewhere.
Re. electric guitars, the Shadows, Clapton, Knopfler.
But actually, I don't like to categorise. I like Ole Man River by Paul Robeson just as much as I like He's a Psycho by the Sex Pistols (probably by them, maybe the Vibrators, God help them - hard to find now)
