Playing blues on electric guitar has opened up a whole new world for me. Thanks to James , I’ve been digging into the foundations of lead playing and finding my own sound. Improvisation felt intimidating before, but now I’m able to jump into a jam and create melodies on the spot with ease.

Before I met James , I really was very scared of perfoming on stage but he helped me gain confidence by giving me multiple guitar exercises and I performed many gigs back inAudubon Park.
