Welcome to my RUclips channel.
I'm a professional musician and have been playing for over 45 years, writing, recording, and performing live. On both guitar and drums.
Here, I'll be taking you on a journey sharing my influences and inspirations, along with a few tutorials and tips on playing guitar.
There'll also be some reviews on the equipment I use, and some general silliness!
Most importantly, it'll be light-hearted and fun 😁
Welcome aboard!

The proper comedic title is "Part Deux". I like what I'm hearing. Very helpful!
Indeed!🙂Thanks for your comment!
My eyes have been opened wide!
That's good to hear! Thank you for your comment. 👍
I remember when I first became aware scale network that allowed me to travel all over the guitar neck. It was a good day indeed!
Love this - a really well paced lesson. I've spent 40 years only using the 1st two positions of the minor pentatonic, not even really knowing what the notes were (except the root) !! This has given me the motivation to get out of my lazy head and learn the rest. Thanks Adrian
Thank you for your comment. It's much appreciated. I'm really pleased that you have taken some knowledge and motivation from it. Feel free to ask any questions on the topic.
Don’t often see a Larry Miller shirt,he was fantastic,do you know if he ever recovered enough to play again?
No you certainly don't! He was top notch. As far as I am aware he's still not playing!
I was using my Fender Stratocaster in Sienna sunburst. It has an Ash Body, maple neck & rosewood finger board.🤘
I'm a great fan of No Nuts cymbal sleeves and like yourself been using them for years. When giging I keep my cymbal bag beside me so I can pack all my cymbals away safely in less than a min. after ther gig ends. Yellow ones are great especially in dark areas.
I do the same. Cymbals bag at the ready! No Nuts are the mutt's nuts 😄Thanks for your comment, much appreciated.
Wow! I got my guitar out and played along. Finally the fretboard meant something, though I am going to have to practice to get my fingers to behave. I don't think it's too much to say that this is a revelation -- like when, to this aspiring keyboard player, when a piano tuner showed me the secrets of the blues scale on the piano when I was 17.
Thank you @cromercrox glad you took something from it! Now, have a word with those fingers!😄
Awwww .... Good Ol' Alfie ........ EXCELLENT stuff M8ty....... Thanks for the tips ..... M&MX ❤️ / Mark T X ♥️ / Tetanus Ted X ❤️ / Unofficial BHB X ❤️

Let me know if this was helpful to you and what was your favourite lick!
i like that you added some licks at the end of the lesson, and you took it slow.
🙂 Thank you for your comment, much appreciated.
Nice lesson thanks! P.S. i felt personally attacked at 5:29 😂
Nothing personal, I can assure you!😄Thanks for comment.

This is such a good way of getting to know the Pentatonic scale over a wider range. I still use this pattern and approach.
When did you first learn about the Pentatonic scale, and how did you approach it? Let me know in the comments!
Would love some feed back on this video. Not from the amp but from you out there!
Let's rock out to some classic solos! What's your favourite one of these?

Those walls look a bit empty. I might have just the thing for them!
But where do you do all your woodwork? 😊
Would love all that space for my stuff...looks great! The garage was a great space to make good. Looks much better. Alfie needs more video time though...
