I'm fascinated by left handed guitarists like Doyle Bramhall II (being a left handed person myself,who plays right handed). I enjoy seeing the differences in phrasing and other choices.

I believe the song, Healing Ground, was originally written by Wishbone Ash; my cover is based on Deborah Coleman's recording of it. If you love blues music listen to Deborah Coleman her work is brilliant.

Pictured is my healing ground.

This drop D riff by Deborah Coleman is so much fun to play. I used a 1980's Fender Lead 1.

Confused (Dedorah Coleman Cover)

So You Want It To Rain (cover)

A brilliant riff from Robin Trower's 20th Century Blues album.

"Precious Gift"

There's a light for someone
Let it shine, let it shine
Ship of gold which sails on
Yeah, make it end in light
How the time weighs heavy
Through the golden air
Keep a place in Heaven
Take this precious gift

Shattered dreams and broken hearts
Nothing bad can pass
Return it all to the past
To the past

Let the river wind on
To the sea, to the sea
No more wars to decide on
Yeah, wait for me
How the time weighs heavy
Through the golden air
Keep a place in Heaven
Take this precious gift

Brush Away My Blues - Written by Eliza Acty
Lyrics: 
My mind plays wicked tricks on me
I'm lost and I'm confused
A wild river, I'll run forever
Till there's nothing left to lose

Light breaks up those heavy skies
I know a brighter place
A place where all my troubles go
Far from my weary space

Meet me by that old oak tree
All crooked, cool and still
Meet me when the sun sets down
To brush away my blues
x2

Time and time again I make 
The same hesitations
Contemplating every move
In every wrong direction

These roots keep getting deeper
And the ground keeps getting stronger
I won't keep growing inwards
I won't be stuck forever

Meet me by that old oak tree
All crooked, cool and still
Meet me when the sun sets down
To brush away my blues 
x2

I've muddied up my tired shoes
My coat drips to the floor
I've walked so many miles
Just to find more closed doors

Meet me by that old oak tree
All crooked, cool and still
Meet me when the sun sets down
To brush away my blues
x2

I also have a music video for this song featured on my YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tL-wxj1W5MI
It was filmed by Burrator Reservoir on Dartmoor in Devon UK. Please do have a look if you enjoy this song. :)
