Solo Guitarist Illustrator Graphic Designer.
Welcome!
Over the years, guitar has been a great friend and passion to me. I embrace her by writing original compositions and arrangements, hopefully bringing something new and musically magical to this world. If you like what I offer, feel at home to contact me and share musical ideas, stories or thoughts. As a designer, I also welcome you to visit the website and see my portfolio at http://www.gocreativedesign.ca/
LIVE PERFORMANCE...
I have done candlelight wine tasting dinner engagements in downtown Halifax but am now focusing on writing, arranging, recording, and raising a young boy with my wife which I find just as rewarding.
PERSONAL MUSIC HISTORY...
I started playing R&R at 16. Continued rock/jazz until late twenties. I quit for 8 years and got the bug at 36, took up acoustic and felt the urge to write, then went to nylon string at 42.
Although I enjoy pure classical guitar, I consider myself just a guitarist opting to mix genres and techniques. What I create is an honest and personal expression of how I hear music and wouldn’t have it any other way.What equipment do you use?

Hi Gary
I really really like your compositions and I'll come back often to listen to your great music.
You are a top class classical guitar player too..Gary,
Greetings from Florida! Found your site and decided to drop in for a listen. Very impressed with your guitar work, in fact I added Waltz'n With the Blues to my station. Liked your web page with the moving eyeballs. Stop by and give me a listen when you can. Keep the music coming!
Peace be with youGreat work, Gary. I really enjoyed your new piece, Waltz'n w/the Blues.Excellent stuff Gary. I mostly listen to (and play) electric rock-type stuff but listening to your excellent playing was most refreshing.
All the bestAll comments (8)

Gary, Thought I knew who all the (good) classical guitarists were on Soundclick! Well, you're definitely a good one I've missed up to now. Original material, a real blend of styles, all excellently played -- just my cup of tea! Best of luck on your CD release!
