Hey guys!!!

Hows it all going?

What a fantastic site, and forum!

Kris pretty much summed it up about me, my main musical interest are fusion and jazz, but being brought up on Guns 'N ' Roses and the like i still think i have a bit of rock left in me!

Ive been playing guitar since i was 12 (so for 8 years nearly) and am studying jazz composition at university. But i am ALWAYS learning new things, thats one of the fun parts of guitar!

Anyway, Im very pleased to be joining the faculty team, and I hope you will enjoy my lessons, any comments are more than welcome, or a pm in the forum is welcome!

Cheers Guy's smile.gif

Wow! What a response already!

Glad to see jazz is popular! I wasnt sure how many people would be keen, but thats awesome. Hope you like the clips, the first one was entirely improvised, which i still find hard, but jazz improvisation is a lifetime pursuit smile.gif

Cheers guys,

Ben

I'm inspired to post a song I wrote about 3 months ago - kind of a bossanova/slightly jazzy thing that I thought GMCers would laugh at smile.gif Just looking for the mp3 now, I'll upload it to the uploads board later smile.gif

Great news! While I am not a big fan of jazz, I do, for some strange reason enjoy trying to play it.
