Why have I posted?

MOST importantly, posting vids gives me the motivation to practice. You really are conscious of trying to play your best when you let the world watch!!

For me it is also a chronical of my progress in learning and trying to progress.

How good do I think I am?

V V average!! but I will get better with practice, like us all, and I hope to see improvement in each of the vids I post.

I have found the internet a great forum to learn and collaborate with other like minded musicians and these collabs are now the main part of what I do with music. It is such a buzz and fun to make music and videos with people from all corners of the globe. On that note, a big thank you in particular to all who have taken the time to embelish (for the better) some of my own music or let me work with theirs. It really is a thrill for a rookie musician/producer like me.

A genuine thank you also to everyone who has asked me to be a part of the numerous other collabs I have been involved in.
