I’ve been playing guitar for 40 years and still love it as much as I did when I first picked a guitar up. My style’s built around what I heard over the years with feel and a strong sense for playing by ear — its a mix of blues, grunge, and good old-fashioned rock.
I grew up from 11 years old idolising melodic lead players players like David Gilmour and SRV, but the soundtrack around me most was Aussie pub rock — The Angels, Baby Animals, Screaming Jets, Cold Chisel, Midnight Oil. That raw live energy and excitement stuck with me.
These days, I just try to play with feel and heart. Whether it’s slow blues, a bit of melodic lead, or a dirty rhythm riff, it’s about keeping it in service to the song and making the guitar say something when its right— and not just playing for the sake of it.
