Q1: Where did you username come from?
It's the name of my business, Classical Guitar Academy!
Q2: Where in the world/country are you?
Derbyshire, UK
Q3: What's your main musical ambition?
My main ambition is to help other guitarists. I enjoy teaching and seeing pupils gain confidence in their playing. We're all in this for one reason, and that's to enjoy music. I find it very fulfilling to play a small part in someone's musical journey.
Q4: Your "best" bit of gear - just the one?
My Michael Gee guitar. It's taken me from Grade 8 through music college, countless performances and a lot of great memories.
Q5: Your #1 ever track - again, just the one?
Impossible to pick just one, sorry!

Currently rebuilding the calluses after a 50 year break but have decided to go back to electric as I can play "unplugged" so as not to annoy her indoors!

Q1: Where did you username come from?
It's a similar one i've used for years and need something I can remember (haha)
Q2: Where in the world/country are you?
Hamburg (Germany) ... But born and raised in Southampton, before living in London for many years and later moving to Hamburg only a few years ago (for work and family).
Q3: What's your main musical ambition?
To play something that sounds like my heroes and enjoying guitars
Q4: Your "best" bit of gear?
My Charvel Custom Shop ...that took a lot of sweat to save up for, many years ago.
Q5: Your #1 ever track - again, just the one?
Too many to choose ... haha But it certainly varies depending on my "Music phase" ... sometimes i'm in a metal phase, sometimes rock ...sometimes something else...

Q1: Where did you username come from?
It was my main toon in 'Dark Age Of Camelot', the first MMO I got into, and just sort of stuck after that.
Q2: Where in the world/country are you?
Originally Wales, currently lowering neighbouring house values in Nottingham.
Q3: What's your main musical ambition?
To keep making better and better music; to get back into releasing music again after a long break (my first album came out in 1999), and especially to keep pushing the boundaries of what sounds can be conjured from guitar & bass (since that's all I can play).
Q4: Your "best" bit of gear - just the one?
Not sure I could pick just one; I know I wouldn't want to be without my Digitech Studio 400 multi-FX or my custom guitars from Haydn Williams.
Q5: Your #1 ever track - again, just the one?
Absolutely no way I could ever choose just one. I'm into prog rock, death and black metal, classical, experimental noise stuff, some electronica, Vai/Satriani-esque guitar stuff, some jazz...nah, impossible to choose 1.

Well, the classical didn't stay due to complaints about the "noise"! Now I have a Burns Shadow Special, played through headphones when anyone is in residence! Trying to use it every day and I can hear (and feel) that I am slowly improving, hitting the correct notes more often and with greater clarity. Onwards and upwards.
