I have always been a massive fan of the guitar as my father is a fine guitarist, playing in bands plus I have always been into rock and blues music. However I didn't start playing the guitar till the age of 20. With music not being my main avenue at the time as I was studying business management at university not having any musical qualifications so it really was just an occasional side hobby.
Despite my father being a great player I have never had any lessons or instruction with dad being busy and me being away from home. With little belief in my ability I was too imposed to take it more seriously. Around the age of 30 I started to attend blues jams in London on the guitar and began to feel more comfortable playing live having previously only occasionally played Live at jams back in Wiltshire. In early 2022 Dom was asked at a jam to play guitar to celebrate the music for a recently deceased legend of the blues scene Jimmy C Coloetis by his widow Aga. This involved a show at the Broadstairs Blues Festival playing a collection of Jimmy's originals and blues standards. Since then in the past 6 months Dom has has honed his skills on the guitar to a more accomplished level! Taking inspiration from old blues legends such as The Three Kings, Rory Gallagher and Jeff Beck and modern masters such as Eric Gales. |
