Here's my Bio:

I first started playing guitar at the age of 10 and joined my first band by the age of 13. We started out playing the local pubs and clubs before eventually changing the band name to “Walkway” in around 2007-2008. I passed my grade 8 guitar qualification with Distinction at the age of 16 and this helped to fuel my musical career by going to music college and studying a performing musician course. I eventually completed this course gaining a level 3 national Diploma as a performing
musician at the level of Distinction. From leaving college, I went into guitar teaching. Teaching privately within my own home as well as schools within Norfolk and Suffolk. This, along with my private lessons, averaging to over 100 students per week. Since I first started as a guitar tutor, I would think that I have now provided tuition to nearly 1000 students. Some of which have gone on to music college, playing within their own bands, completing guitar examinations. My tuition complements my band playing perfectly. I receive a great buzz from passing my knowledge and experience onto others. I have also done a number of session slots over my musical career. Most notably 2014's Xmas single “I wonder where he is now” which featured top
Musicians; Gary Chilton (The soldiers), Russ Gilbrook & Dave Rimmer (Uriah Heep), Geoff Whitehorn (Procol Harum) Al Vosper (renowned session guitarist)
This was a charity single raising money for ‘Help The Heroes’ and was a contender for Xmas number one 2014. I’m extremely proud to have played on this single. I have also shot guitar demonstration videos exclusively for Paul Reed Smith guitars and WildWire music store. This was a great privilege for me and videos can be found at these links:

Think he nailed it! 👍👍

Getting really into Guitar set-ups as of recent.
Here's one I've been working on today.
A 97' Gibson Les Paul studio which belongs to another of my students.

If my memory serves correctly, I believe this was picked up in a charity shop a good few years ago but has never had a set-up or anything done to the playability.

Originally, I was just going to give the guitar. General set-up, but after looking a bit closer, the frets were pretty flat and ideally needed a good dressing and re-crown.

I'm super happy with the results, the frets have been dressed and crowned and are now even across the board with a super smooth mirror finish and the action has been lowered at the nut and re balanced at the Bridge.

Just finishing off a couple of final tweaks and then it'll be ready to be collected l 🎸

Just finished setting up this Washburn Acoustic for one of my Guitar students.

Unfortunately it's been a very difficult Guitar for her to play since new.
Extremely high action both at the Bridge Saddle and Nut resulting in some rather painful practice sessions and lessons!

I've now performed quite an excessive set up - straighteing up the neck, sanding down the bridge saddle and filing down the nut as well as the usual restring and clean up.
It now plays effortlessly!
Shouldn't be anymore trouble getting those chords ringing out properly now!

I've just finished setting up this "Rock Jam" Stratocaster style Guitar for one of my students. It's now playing lovely!...

I've just finished setting up this "Rock Jam" Stratocaster style Guitar for one of my students.

It's now playing lovely! Just as it was intended to be!

Unfortunately, a lot of these mass produced Chinese/Indonesian Guitars get shipped out of the factory sub standard and in some cases virtually unplayable!
This particular one had a very high action - both at the nut and bridge, the pickups were completely unbalanced, and after looking in the back cavity, the tremolo block was misaligned and set completely wrong - which no doubt was leading to some tuning issues!
Surprisingly though, the fretwork is actually pretty good and hasn't raised any issues or problems!

If your guitar is in need of a setup, please get in contact - I've recently invested a lot of money into set up tools and have studied guitar setups and courses as well as working on my own instruments.
