Weekends. Gary teaches at Shiney
Row college over in the North East as well as having a busy gigging
schedule. He is well versed in all aspects
of guitar playing and specializes in teaching both
hobby and professional musicians. He is especially good at getting
the best out of players and
getting them to improve confidence together with their playing.

place available on this weekend. |
| In Gary's own words,
"I am currently teaching full time at City of Sunderland College in
the popular music department where I first linked up with Rod
Sinclair and later with Jim Hornsby, both are guitar teachers on the
Guitar Breaks weekends. My teaching experience includes an eight
year stint at Newcastle College and various workshops in the
community in Northumberland, fourteen years at City of Sunderland
College teaching on a wide range of courses with different levels of
qualification/ability. I am currently playing with Martin Stephenson
and The Daintees, a band I have been involved with
since 1985, playing an eclectic mix of styles and having recorded various
studio/live albums. My playing experience has included various T.V. and
Radio sessions and lots of gigs and festivals." |
