About Me

Born & Raised in London, England.
I taught myself how to play guitar via a magazine collection since I was 19. I only got to issue 5 and then didnt progress any further as I thought I'd learnt enough to do a few basic songs. So thats what I have done and the rest, covers etc, chords I found by myself or using tabs online.
I have over 30 full songs I have written and can play about half of them as most dont have music yet.
The First lot of songs you heard were rough recordings in one day via my PC Webcam and using my electric guitar unplugged because the acoustic would have been too loud. Most were first take recordings, hence why you can hear my mobile phone low battery noise in the background! lol
The 4 Track songs you hear are using my old Tascam Cassette 4 Track along with either my Acoustic or Electric guitar and an old Korg Drum Machine, so the sound is pretty basic but you get the idea. Do remember, all songs are by no means finished and complete.
Let me know what you think of songs, favourites etc or maybe a different way of recording them.
Constructive critisism is always welcome.
