__________________________________
Finding Your Sound
Playing the right notes is only part of the story.
Developing your own sound is equally important.
I'll help you understand how to shape your tone using guitars, amplifiers, pedals, effects processors, loop stations and signal chains.
Whether your setup is simple or highly sophisticated, we'll work together to achieve the sound you've always imagined.
__________________________
Learn from Your Heroes... Then Become Yourself
Every great musician begins by admiring someone else.
Perhaps you'd love to capture the expressive phrasing of B.B. King, the harmonic sophistication of Pat Metheny, the energy of Stevie Ray Vaughan, the lyrical touch of Julian Lage or the creativity of John Scofield.
Together we'll analyse what makes your musical heroes unique—their phrasing, harmony, rhythm, articulation, tone and musical language.
But the ultimate goal is much greater than imitation.
My aim is to help you develop your own voice—a style that is unmistakably yours.
The world's greatest musicians don't sound like anyone else.
Neither should you.
