2014 has been a fun year here in the world of online guitar sessions. Here’s what was going to be a quick round up but has ended up being a sort of digest of my working year. Pimp my rig Fun stuff first – new guitars. The biggest, most inspiring thing as far as I’m concerned […]

Bit of smashy smash with @alexisgerred on Saturday. He’s an energetic lad. Some delay oscillation knob-twiddling in the breakdown. Also feat @tiagodiasbass and @pringledrums. Thanks to ma girl LA for the vid #groupie #livemusic #guitarist #sessionband
Congrats to @alexisgerred on his album launch night, and all his crowdfunders and supporters in attendance. Pleasure to MD with @tiagodiasbass and @pringledrums - dreams musicians! Shout out to @livausten for her great guest spot and bar counting! #musicians #livemusic #guitar #guitarist #producer

#Repost @birdsnog ・・・ Such a great day in the sound mix studio with brilliant @jonwrightmusic !! 🎧 working magic on overdubs, creating foley for hilarious effect and adding our wonderful @livausten tracks throughout! So exciting to see it come together... watch this space 👀 Huge thanks also to @copperbrownuk for all their help 🎙#birdsnog #team #producer #pilotepisode #soundmixer #comingsoon #laughs #comedy #brandspankingnew #british #sitcom #postproduction #studio #team #workingwiththebest
Audio editing and mixing for the pilot of TV show @birdsnog - we’ve also recorded foley and added samples today. Lots of automation required and matching studio overdubs to shoot locations with EQ and convolutions - time consuming but SO satisfying. #tvshow #audio #soundmixing #foley #logicprox #ukcomedy #sitcom #soundmixing
Thanks for coming here today. I just want to clarify that I do regularly change the strings on this @martinguitar J-40 and that rumours that I do not are malicious lies #acoustic #pressconference #guitar #guitarist #illtakesomequestions
Indeed. Musical highlight of my year, too (which is saying something). #Repost @livausten ・・・ That's a nice way to end the year. Thank you @amazonmusic 💚
Exciting news: not content with booking a show at Piz Gloria in Switzerland next year (seriously), @qthemusicshow is heading to the West End. We’ll be playing at The Adelphi in March. Meanwhile here’s a pic of me concentrating on a power chord on a big stage, a key feature of these shows. #bond #westend #guitarist #livemusic #tux #bondtribute #sexy #yesicansayimsexy
First in a series of live videos by @livausten. Album out now, mixed and produced by this guy but who cares about that, I’m just so excited to be in Liv’s band with these guys: @tiagodiasbass @pringledrums @charlietottmanguitar. Launch gig last night was off the hook - after so long in the studio it’s so exciting to figure out these songs live. All about the @kemperamps and @suhrguitarsuk for me right now. #guitarist #ukcountry #live #studio #Repost @livausten ・・・ Here’s a clip of the first of a series of live performance videos we shot at NUA Studios. 🎥 This is the song ‘Whole Heart’ from my album ‘A Moment Of Your Time’. 🙌 To see the full version head over to my YouTube page now!

Been involved in a lot of Nashville-style writers rounds but this was different - emotional, touching, hilarious, vulnerable and brave - and wonderful for it. Credit to (L-R) @clarabondsongs @kaityraemusic @lisawrightuk and @livausten for sharing themselves, their feelings and their process with a packed, knowledgable Hackney Empire Bar audience. (@ollieharris_dg also playing guitar and singing beautifully). Honour to be part of it. #songwriters #intheround #guitarist @martinguitar @gibsonguitaruk #J-40 #acousticguitar #livemusiclondon #sessionguitar #sidemenliterallyontheside
‘A Moment Of Your Time’ is the @chris.country Album of the Week. As it should be, IMHO. #ukcountry @c2cfestival @countrymusicweek @bbcradio2 #countrymusic @livausten
Very very happy that @alexisgerred ’s album (released today) is being well received - couldn’t be happier to have see it making its way in the world. Working with Alex was such a joy and we had tons of good times making this album. Insane vocals and a mix of bangers and ballads. Great guesting from @livausten and @misssteers too. #producer #mixer #session #studio #releaseday #poweredbyreggaereggaesauce
