Sheryl Bailey is one of the most inspirational guitarists of our time. Not only is she a hugely successful musician, but she is also dedicated to passing on her knowledge through her teaching career.
Sheryl currently works at Berklee College of Music in Boston. One of her big goals is to inspire more women to take up leadership roles in the world of music.
Sheryl started out wanting to be a rockstar, but like all musicians with great taste, she soon realised Jazz was the superior genre! Her music has often been described as โsizzlingโ and it is indeed very cool but with plenty of fire.
Check out โUnexpected Turnโ and โWilkinsburg"; from her album All Those Living. Give them a go and let me know how you get on!

In case you didnโt already know I have a YouTube channel.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCncYEiOcqgd7BGxm-XHKpcw
Itโs a bit of a mixed bag with some performance videos, practice videos, smaller video snippets I recorded so as not to forget them and a couple of other randoms. There are no actual guitar lessons on there which is something I will get to but there are a few videos of tunes I have worked on or am working on with pupils and it allows them/you to see how the ideas and techniques we look at can be put in to practice.
Anyway, please do check it out and I would really appreciate if you could subscribe and share it (send it to all those people you donโt like!!๐).
New videos coming very soon . . . .maybe even tomorrow (or the next day or day after that but definitely soon๐)

Yup, could not agree more! Guitar is like a type of therapy. If you are looking to practice self-care while upskilling yourself, guitar is the way to do it.

While Iโve been really promoting my group lessons recently, I know these arenโt for everyone. Maybe you are shy in groups, or perhaps you are keen to take part in a group lesson, but youโd like a few solo sessions first?
My online one-to-one guitar lessons are open to people at any stage in their guitar journey and I have a range of times available. Just send me a message if you would like to find out more.

B. B. King a.k.a. King of the Blues! He first โgot bigโ on the famous Beale Street in Downtown Memphis, Tennessee. In the late 40โs and early 50โs this was the place to be if you were a top Blues musician.
His most successful single (which you have to listen to!) is "The Thrill is Goneโ (1969) and he was the first Blues artist to make it into the pop mainstream.
He won a total of 15 Grammys and he received a Presidential Medal of Freedom from President George W. Bush in 2006 - pretty amazing!
Music was Kingโs life and he was still playing hundreds of concerts every year in his 70โs and 80โs and kept going until he eventually collapsed on stage and was forced to slow down. Yes, the people around him should definitely have taken better care of himโฆ but perhaps the music just meant more to him than anything else, even his health. Either way, he lived to the ripe old age of 89, quite an impressive feat for someone in his industry!

Howdy pickers, as you may (or may not but will after reading this) know I am a big fan of Mr Joe Robinson. The next Tommy Emmanuel as far as Iโm concerned which is saying a LOT!! Anyway, that being said Iโm sure you can only imagine my delight to receive this wonderful feedback from the man himself . . . Certainly made my day๐

As some my pupils will testify, I like to dabble a wee bit playing jazz. When youโre in the right mood there really is no better sound. The best way to get yourself motivated with any instrument, is to listen to the greats. Here are 4 amazing jazz guitar solos that may just inspire you!!
