My story
I have played blues guitar for over 20 years and have loved blues music for just as long.
5 years ago – after getting complacent with my playing, I decided I wanted to push on and improve as a guitarist.
I started to document my journey and share tips on gear, practice and playing.
To my joy, that helped me turn into a full time Bluesman.
I have since gone on to work with hundreds of blues guitarists all over the world through the Blues Club and 1-2-1 coaching.
