Fretted Stringed Instruments & keys
I've played since the age of 9, achieved grade 8 on Guitar at 15 years old and have a Degree in Music.
I play professionally in a corporate and events band called Nightporters, as an agency musician, pit musician and have worked on numerous projects with local charities in the community.
I've played and studied music long enough that there shouldn't be an 8 year old child who is far better than I can ever hope to be.
And yet, Youtube and other social media reminds me that we aren't all created equal.
However, I can play well, and I do it professionally. I have a passion for showing others how to play, write, practice, perform and study music too.
