ABOUT

Have been Playing guitar for 27 years now. Since the approximate age of 10.
Incidentally, looking to set up guitar teaching here. If you wish to learn guitar..or any other instruments. Contact me here...or call 0484106268. Looking at charging $30 per half hour..or $50 per hour. Bass, drums and guitar already here. Or for an additional $5, can travel to your location...(may differ according to distance required)
Have learnt both acoustic and electric guitar techniques and am quite adept at what I do. Learnt first classic rock, blues, country, hard rock, amongst scales and chords. Then I branched off to more technical metal and classical, also experimenting with various other styles too. Can also sing, play bass, keys and drums to an extent. But not quite to the same ability level.
Last few years i've had a go at various group photo shoots and also directing a few video clips. Have been involved in various solo creative shoots for the last 10 years.
A lot of my lyrics come from life experiences, social issues and re-worded versions of my poetry.
Played guitar and some vocals on the Insoulence cd. But guitar and bass on the first demo cd.
Played/recorded lead\rhythm guitar and backing vocals in Requiem of the Damned between 2005 and approx 2011 and played on the Type I ep and TYPE II full length cd and had the fortune to be able to play at Metalstock festival as our second gig.. Played guitar (and recorded drums) in Dark Eve Rising approximately 2001-2003 and Arcane Rite in my mid twenties for a few years, where we pulled some quite big crowds.
Also, collaborated with many other random artists, including steelpan/djembe collaborations, double bass, violins, harps.....folk artists. Balilaka in Angel with Broken Wings. Was able to record banjo, piano, guitar slides, keyboards in foreignbody for many of the songs and also have learnt ukulele.
So, fairly versatile with styles that I can play
