If you've been following my Blues piano tunes for a while, you'll know that it was a style of playing that captivated me as a child/teenager.But it's only been in recent years that I feel I'm getting deeper into the genre & finding all the nooks & crannies I never noticed before. Maybe I'm maturing as a musician, or maybe I've just got a thick head & it's taken this long to knock it into me :) Enjoy this improvisation, based on the 12 Bar Blues motif & get to understand why I needed to crawl before I could walk.

Here is the Youtube link to this tune :)

Crawl Before You Walk

sooo much to be and so much so seee ...............

I started off learning piano at around 6 years old, but only realised my ear for music when I could pick out melodies I heard on the radio & from then on I started writing my own music & playing long into the night, to the point where my parents told me to stop so they could go to sleep!
In my teenage years I joined bands & learnt basically on the fly how to work as a group. Once I realised that keyboards were not as portable & able to be played on beaches / around campfires, I taught myself guitar. By adding drums, harmonica & bass to my arsenal, the stage was set for a fully working band to record in my garage. Since setting up my home studio, I love recording a tune each week & especially love collaborating with all the extremely talented musicians on soundcloud. I'm a full time musician, with many different hats in the music community. Including songwriter, composer, live musician & blog writer.
