Eclectic Instrumental guitar compositions

About Me

I started playing guitar in my late teens (about 20 years ago now...... Damn I'm getting old. LOL!) and have since picked up Bass, drums, Mandolin and little Double Bass and piano. Over the last 10 years I've composed loads of Guitar based Instrumentals which draw on many different musical styles. I've also composed many vocal songs and short classical pieces but I'll save them for some other outlet! I always try write music that draws on an eclectic mix of styles and arrange in such a away as to make all the different instrumental parts sound interesting on their own but still add to the overall feel. Some short clips have been used by Channel 4 on several programs which is pretty cool.
