Hi guys!

Enjoy!

Hi and welcome to my site!

How was your summer? I hope you had a great one! I just can’t believe how quickly this year is going!

I spent my last month in Italy visiting friends and family and it’s been really great catching up with old friends who I haven’t seen in ages and spending some time with my family. I also managed to see Toky (my cat) who is always awesome.

During my holiday I did get some work done on the website and you’ll find a few new things like the new lick section with all the ‘Secret Licks of Week’, the new mandolin section, new backing tracks, new diagrams, arpeggios, pictures… well.. many new things! Just have a look around and hopefully you’ll find something interesting.

Btw… did you see the lick of this month? Here it goes…

Summer here is London seems to be finished unluckily and now it’s time to start planning for the last part of the year. This month I’m restarting teaching my technique class at the Guitar Institute and I’m quite looking forward to that. Plus I have big plans for the website so watch this space!

Thank you very much for all the nice messages and feedback. It’s very nice to have so many friends.

:)

Be awesome

Hi and welcome to my 20-days-old site!

There are plenty of lessons and things you can check out. Most of the lessons are absolutely for free and what’s not free is normally £1. Simple.

There are a few new things this month. I’ve added a new DVD page in the recommended section and a few books and things here and there. I’ve also finished uploading all the articles I did for Guitar Techniques magazine so you can check them out!

But the big news of this month is the very first Secret Lick of the Month video! This is my very first video ever so don’t expect great quality but I think it does the job for what I had in mind. If you like it please rate it and subscribe to my YouTube channel so you’ll get the updates every time I post a new video.

Aside from the website, I’ve just got back from Cheltenham, UK where I was teaching my Jazz & Beyond course for the International Guitar Foundation (IGF). It is always a great experience. Lots of cool people, some very talented players and just a very good vibe.

Anyway, I hope you’re enjoying the website and you’re finding some inspiration in it. If you wanna stay in touch you can subscribe to my monthly newsletter (any page on the right hand side!) and if you want you can contribute to the website by clicking on the donate button.

Have a great summer and I’ll see you next month.

Love
