I'm thrilled to announce the release of a brand NEW song, one of my favorite compositions to date!. "Home" is a heartfelt acoustic guitar piece centered on the quest to discover the essence of home during the life of a touring musician. It delves into the contemplation of what truly constitutes our sense of belonging: whether it's rooted in familial connections, cherished memories, or a specific geographical location.

Personally, after experiencing 20 relocations in 5 different countries by the age of 18, I came to the realization that home wasn't tied to a physical space for me. Instead, I found that my true sanctuary resided within the realm of the arts, particularly in the comforting embrace of my guitar, providing me with an enduring sense of home.

What is home for you?

Make sure you play your scales and arpeggios over a backing track. It will be way more inspiring and also forces you to think about what notes sound good / bad over chords.

NEW SONG! At the tender age of 16 , I vividly recall the moment when I first witnessed Stevie Ray Vaughan's mesmerizing guitar performance on the iconic television show, Austin City Limits. At the time, I had just embarked on my own guitar journey, and I was utterly captivated by the extraordinary sounds and funny faces he conjured from his instrument, espcially on his song Scuttle Buttin'. I remained clueless about the arduous path one must tread to emulate not only the velocity of his playing but also the precision he effortlessly achieved.

Now, a staggering 22 years have passed, and I find myself daring to take on this formidable challenge, armed with only one acoustic guitar. I invite you to join me on this musical odyssey and hope that you find pleasure in the journey ahead!

Vibrato is a wonderful technique to give your notes a little more movement especially with long notes that you're holding. Do you know how to do this??

This whole song was based around these two notes at the start. Everything else came after until the song was born.
