Tell us more about yourself (place a Bio here if you wish)
Hello! - I'm based in Scotland and have played & taught flatpicking Scottish & Irish jigs and reels on the guitar for many years. I also love the jazzier playing of David Grier & Tony Rice and the country blues of Doc Watson and Big Bill Broonzy.
I have just released ( 2008) a CD of all Scottish tunes played flatpicking on the guitar - " Far from Home".
