Guitar
A professional guitarist and session musician since age 18, James has carved out a niche as a modern experimental guitarist.
A long time fan of pioneering avant-garde guitarists Robert Fripp, Adrian Belew and David Torn, James has developed a signature guitar tone featuring live sampling/looping of the raw guitar signal, several feeds to a computer (running Native Instruments Reaktor).
Examples of James guitar playing can be found on the Audio page, including extracts of the Guitarscapes sample CD.
James is available as a session guitarist for studio sessions or live gigs. Studio sessions can be completed in your studio or at his own facility, with the performances being couriered or via a secure FTP transfer.

Guitar Tuition
James is teaching weekly guitar lessons from his recording studio in Acton, West London.
He teaches a hybrid curriculum that encompasses modern rock, funk, country and blues technique. A lot of attention is paid to you and your needs, although this is not the type of course to do if you simply want to learn a few chords and your favourite tunes.
The teaching is specifically directed at young players with a view to you becoming a professional guitarist with an individual tone.
James is focussed on developing your own musical personality, enabling you to express your emotions through the medium of the guitar, giving a well rounded and interesting muscial education and being a positive and ecouraging force in your life.
