  • Hello fretboard community!  I'm 29 and living in Bristol.  I've been playing in bands for the best part of 10 years.  I come from a blues background musically but have pushed out into a lot of Latin, World and trying my hand at some jazz as well.  

    Q1:  Where did you username come from?  Not the most thought through just took an old instagram handle..

    Q2:  Where in the world/country are you?  currently based in Bristol in the UK but have spent  a lot of time living in Bogota and take much musical influence from Colombia and the rest of the continent.  Check out Los Gusanos on spotify for some examples!

    Q3:  What's your main musical ambition?  At the moment it's get a bit jazzier - I've bluesed my way through this kind of music for many years but have decided it's time to start trying to do it properly!

    Q4:  Your "best" bit of gear - just the one? An AVRI strat that I picked up in Chicago on a stop over to catch Buddy Guy in his club!  That's been my number 1 for quite a few years now and is always the go to for stints abroad or touring.

    Q5:  Your #1 ever track - again, just the one?  What a tricky question.. Julian Lage has an amazing version of Emily on youtube - this has been my summer project to learn so I'll go for this.  The fluidity of it is just insane!

     Im 62 and dont go out much for health reasons, practically a hermit for past ten years. UNTIL I tuned up at a sorta/kinda guitar group at the local community centre. Got on great with the fella 'instructor' and slowly managing to squeeze out a tune from time to time. COVID put an end to that for a while but I still really enjoy playing with all my new toys. Most are old hat I guess, but they make noises I like and keep me stretching a bit further everyday.

    Salut!

    Q1:  Where did you username come from?

    It's a pun on The Joker. 

    Q2:  Where in the world/country are you?

    Irish but living in Sweden a longggg time.

    Q3:  What's your main musical ambition?

    I played music for a very long time but stopped rather abruptly and never got back into it. Now as a Dad to young kids they've pulled me back into enjoying music together with them. It's been serendipitous and wonderful, like reconnecting with a long lost friend. So, I guess I want to share in the joy of music with them.

    From a purely personal perspective and as a musician, I'd like to deepen my understanding of the guitar and music in general so that I understand why certain chords and notes sound good together. I have no aspirations to be a singer but would like to feel comfortable playing and singing competently in front of family and friends. I want to try my hand at building a guitar. But my big one would be to learn how to boogie on the piano. :-)

    Q4:  Your "best" bit of gear - just the one?

    The best bit of kit is the next one...

    Q5:  Your #1 ever track - again, just the one?

    Too hard to choose. Ill say Simple Twist of Faith by Bob Dylan.
