ABOUT

I've been playing guitar for almost 50 years in various covers and original bands many years ago. I also played drums in a covers band for 10 years but my first instrument is the guitar, at which I suppose I'd be described as advanced level lead and rhythm but not for me to judge (I can play the lead break on Stairway to Heaven (who can't) if that helps ;-).
I've never stopped playing, always learning but need some motivation to play regularly. Still do open-mic acoustic gigs occasionally.
