Yes , very strange times upon us! I hope everyone is managing to stay health, both physically and mentally. I have been enjoying daily walks to help stay afloat and the weather, for Ireland, has been exceptionally good. All gigs/concerts are cancelled as was my plans to record a new project in June, among other things. All hopefully for the future…
On a more positive note though, it’s a good time to explore all things creative and maybe other things we had intended to do but never really had the time. I’ve begun putting together a Youtube channel. I’ve added some performance videos and I will be uploading some tutorial and solo guitar videos soon. I have also been working on some arrangements for the next recording project. I guess it’s nice to do this stuff with little or no distractions.
I have also been doing some online teaching and appearing on some online shows. My great friend David O’Rourke is hosting a “Daily Blast” live from New Jersey every evening at 9pm (Irishtime) on Facebook. I’ve really enjoyed appearing on there with some terrific guests including Sheryl Bailey, Phil Robson, Dave Whyte, Rodney Jones, Peter Bernstein and Michael Weiss. On Thursday 21st May I’ll be joining the great guitarist and friend John Stowell on the show. I also appeared as featured guest on the USOM webinar series “ Guitar Night” (episode three) with host Daniel Jacobsen.
I’ve also had great renewed interest in my book The Guitar Chord Doctor. It is available to purchase on the GCD page here.
Stay well and stay safe!
