When are you going to come to [my city]?
Great question. I’m not a big performer/touring guy…at ALL. The simple fact is I have a young family and just prefer to be at home. To be completely honest, I’m really more of a songwriter and producer than a performer. Having said that, if and when anything ever changes you will find the information here on my site or on Instagram etc. If you’re on my mailing list, you’ll never miss a beat!
Can I get the TAB to your cover songs?
I've only done a handful of cover songs, but this is a question I get all the time. I guess people like them!
The first answer is I actually never transcribed any of them, so I simply don’t have them.
The longer answer is that even if I did have them, I don’t have the rights to distribute sheet music to any cover songs or music I don’t own the rights to, and this includes giving them away for free.
However, technology and rights management have progressed to where this is now doable - but not on my own site. So it's something I'll put on the to-do list :) No ETA on when that might be though.
Do you give lessons?
Yep!
I have taught online guitar lessons since 2013 to students all over the world. Over the years I have covered everything from technique to songwriting/arranging to recording to reading music and everything in between.
Spaces are very limited but you can click here to read all about it and register your interest.
Is your music available for licensing to TV, Film etc?
Yep!
Almost my whole catalog is available for use in video/film projects. CD Baby Licensing handle all licensing enquiries. You can find all the relevant information RIGHT HERE .
Can I hire you to play on my song?
Maybe! Contact me with the details of the project and we can discuss it further.
Where can I find out about your other musical projects?
Winterland Jets
I have a little duo with my old friend Freddie McLennan called Winterland Jets. You can take a listen here if you’re curious!
I like your website - who did it?
This is becoming a more common question...and I'm thrilled people like the website.
I did it myself using the Tunepipe builder...and if I can do it, so can anyone!
It's pretty easy, they have a lot of tutorials on the website and great customer service. Here's an affiliate link if you're interested. :)
