Had a pop at @jack_gardiner_music #jackgardinersolocontest on his track “Lark Lane” from his recent EP “Escapades”, which is a killing record that you should check out, minus my butchering of it here. Need a reason to play still though so here it is. - - - - #guitar #jackgardiner #escapades #solo #fusion #gibson #midtown #doubledenim #pickupjazz #lickwars #larklane #liverpool #leeds https://www.instagram.com/p/CDbrPlXHcTg/?igshid=s2b94tenwta7

In the studio today with @predshaw95 putting guitars on the next album. Here’s a cheeky snippet of some of the results. Harm guitars have always been the end goal in life for me. - - - - #softrock #yachtrock #westcoast #1970s #guitar #harmonizedguitars #studio #recording #independentartist #logic #steelydan #johnmayer #album #leeds #liverpool https://www.instagram.com/p/B_nD9sPnlX1/?igshid=l6g1b3d44yg6

Rediscovered this K-Pop banger “Eclipse” by @itskimlip from @loonatheworld , written by my sis @charlitaft and Obi. Couldn’t get it out my head so had to jump on it whilst we don’t have anything to do. Check the full track and all Charli’s tracks which are killa 🇰🇷🇩🇰🇬🇧🦠🎸🎧 - - - - - #kpop #loonaverse #loona #kimlip #covid #quarantine #deekay #obi #blockberry #collab #eclipse #solo #guitar @gibsonguitar #midtown @pickupjazz #pickupjazz #cowboyshirt #leeds #liverpool #copenhagen #southkorea https://www.instagram.com/p/B_KUcdsnTrB/?igshid=1mxquu9arxdkl

Had to jump on @pattydrumz killa groove on “Outstanding” by The Gap Band. It’s a painfully good banger, and I’ve never heard someone have so much pocket on an electric kit before 😳 again, my video production quality is hilariously bad but hey ho. Was deffo trying to channel @stevelukatherofficial for this one. Give our Tom a follow for more insane drums covers/beats/grooves. - - #gapband #outstanding #disco #guitar @gibsonguitar #gibson #midtown #drums #electricdrums #solo #pickupjazz @pickupjazz #stevelukather #fusion @wrangler https://www.instagram.com/p/B-6spokHM4U/?igshid=xub8919byjyg
