Project manager in daytime, musician at night. Singer-songwriter, guitar and bass player through 25 years. Playing self-invented advanced guitar fingerpicking technique. Humble in daytime, noisy at night ;)

Just got fired from my dayjob.. and considering a career shift.. which got me into rehearsing with a teenager's sturdiness and lots of positive energy ;) Tommy is my daily inspiration here. Thanks Mr.Emmanuel!

About my technique: It is cross breed... no actually it is a bastard! I use thumb and 1st for bass lines - slap technique learned from Victor Wooten's online lessons. (Thanks to the great bass player!) The rest (2,3,4th) are for chords and melody - but each finger dedicated for just one string, hitting it in both directions, both up AND down.. I play mostly solo and duos with percussion/cajon. But I also have an electric setup! Kasuga ES-335 ´72 (Gibson copy) and Washburn J6, both customized with my own designed pickups (the old cases reused), dividing the strings in 2 sets - 6,5th goes to the bass amp (PJB Suitcase) and 4-1th goes to guitar amp (Fender Jazz King). This setup allows me to play with a drummer #8O

Cheers from Denmark!

PS: In case if you need help with advise about cure for hand injuries - I have some experience - and a couple of good links!

His openness and wholeheartedness about his art. His devotion to the instrument which i share with him ;)
