I started playing guitar aged 14. I'm self-taught apart from my first four chords - G, Em, Am, D. Later, I learned a lot from Stefan Grossman's Country Blues Series.
My favourite artists include Mississippi John Hurt & the Rev Gary Davis. Also Roy Buchanan, Lonnie Mack, Lightnin' Hopkins.......
I'll play country blues, gospel, and anything else if I like it enough. At least, I'll try to!
I enjoy sharing ideas with other guitarists where I can. You'll find some 'How to Play...' videos among my uploads.
I have also written a tutor book, 'Yes You Can Play Like Mississippi John Hurt'. You can get it via my website, www.thumbpicker1812.co.uk.
or direct from www.lulu.com.
My other interests include reading and writing poetry, short stories, novels ... and listening to most kinds of music.
Comments (preferably polite!) welcome.
If you have been - thanks for listening!
