Conrad is currently a busy tutor and performer in the South West of England, and in 2008 completed his sixth recorded CD, "Conradical" which was described by Cross Rhythms magazine as a "Mesmerising display of solo electric guitar at its finest". Shortly after the release of this album, he signed as an international endorsee of Framus Guitar Company.
Conrad has received acclaim for his playing from the likes of All out Guitar, and Hardrockhouse magazines and is now regarded as one of the most technically competent players in England. Roland UK recently described Conrad's playing as "Overwhelming, and "Alloutguitar" magazine as "Simply phenomenal".

Musical philosophy
I am great believer in the "P" word – practise – but not without structure. You can spend hours fiddling on the guitar with no real progress or learning taking place. A structure to each second of your routine is vital. The lessons at GMC provide you with this structure, to formulise your own practise routine, and to take your playing forward, whatever style or level you are. I am really looking forward to sharing some of my ideas with the community at GMC, and am eager to learning some new ideas from the other tutors and pupils.
I am also a great in developing your own style, using ideas and licks from others, but then defining your own unique way of presenting music and playing your guitar.
Most of all though, enjoy the guitar, it is a wonderful instrument!
