I’m a 35-year-old guitarist based in Cornwall with over 15 years of professional playing experience. I have played in both orignals bands and function bands across the South West of England. My roots are in blues and rock, but I’m versatile and comfortable across a range of styles — from soulful, expressive lead work to tight, dynamic rhythm playing.
I have some clips of my playing here - dsjguitar
I’m currently looking to join an originals band or a function band — either collaborating on new material with like-minded musicians or delivering great live sets that get people moving.
I’ve got pro-level gear, my own transport, and a reliable, easy-going attitude. Whether it’s rehearsals, gigs, or studio work, I always bring commitment, feel, and a good ear for tone.
If you’re looking for a solid, expressive guitarist who’s passionate about great music and making it happen — I’d love to connect.
