Massively under prepared but I’m still committed to running this years Great North Run as it’s all for a good cause.
If you can spare anything at all I’m aiming to try and raise £300 for Asthma UK for all the great work and research they do for all the asthma sufferers out there especially during this pandemic.

Bit of Cream. Loving this les paul, thanks to D’Arcy .guitars for giving it a once over and sorting some dodgy frets. Plays and sounds a dream now!
This week see’s children back in education. I’m looking forward to teaching face to face again. If you or anyone you know are considering taking up guitar please do get in touch, I currently have spaces available.
New strings on the tele and it’s finally in standard tuning so had to put the pups to the test doing some summers. It’s a bit scrappy and the solo is a mess - need to invest in a slide. What do you think guest slot on rhythm when I’m in town?
Not posted anything for a while. Still here just very busy with life and a new puppy! (Check out ) So I recently purchased this. Epic music please Mr Zimmer!
A bit of a long one Imperium by Machine Head. I challenged myself to recording only one take of this and making myself upload it no matter how woeful it is in parts. I used to play this a lot but as you can tell I haven’t for a while. There’s some killer riffs and timing changes in this tune. It’s not meant to be perfect by any means, maybe I’ll do a ‘proper’ version of it eventually. Also checkout the tele! It’s all of the meat. Best with headphones on! Some serious bass

Always used these strings, probably always will
Phone mic audio! Apologies. These pickups are monstrous. Expect more down tuned stuff soon!

Super telecaster upgrade time. Not as straight forward as it should have been, but a pair of humbuckers make this a monster sounding tele @ Hartlepool
