Acoustic guitar covers and original music.
FAQ:
- What guitar is that?
It's an Epiphone Hummingbird Pro
- What guitar strings do you use?
Ernie Ball Earthwood Light 80/20 strings (0.11)
- Where is the tab for this song?
99% of my videos are my own arrangements worked out by ear. On the rare occasion that I use video tutorial I will mention in the comments/description
- How do you record your videos?
Audio: Blue Yeti USB mic. Recorded in Audacity.
Video: Phone camera
- Can you cover XYZ song?
I used to take requests but there's so many coming through now. I do read the comments so keep asking and if I see one I like or had already thought of then I'll be more inclined to upload that soon.
- Do you make original music?
Occasionally. There are a few original songs on Spotify, iTunes, Apple Music etc. Just search for my name. There's also a playlist on here called Original Songs.

For those of you interested in learning how to play some of the songs I play, there's a fantastic video out from Ryan Lendt which covers my arrangement of God Only Knows.
Ryan's got a great channel where he teaches you how to play a whole variety of songs from almost every genre, so please check it out and show him some love šā¤ļø

This came in the post today to say congratulations for 100,000 subscribers!
A massive THANK YOU to every single person who takes time out of their day to watch my videos, send lovely comments and more. It really means a lot to me and I do try to read them all even if I don't manage to respond.
This channel started out as me just putting things up for my own amusement and I was quite shocked that I even got 100 subscribers. When I hit 1,000 I thought that was INSANE as the people I looked up to as the best of the best had that. I couldn't believe that I did it too.
100,000 is just out of this world.
I am sorry, though, that I haven't been uploading much lately. On a more personal note, the last 6 months have been pretty up and down. I've had 2 bereavements and a gained a new child in that time so I've not had much time to even pick up my guitar for more than 5 mins once in a blue moon, let alone put together a video.
BUT I'm hoping SOON that now things are calming down and I'm getting into a routine that I'll have the time to do so.
Thank you all for sticking with me and believing in me. You're far too kind! ā¤ļø

I've put a cover of Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want by The Smiths on Spotify and all those other streaming services for those interested
open.spotify.com/track/7fg3jF8d6UJek5BahliCTN?si=Mā¦
The version I uploaded is actually from a video I put up online. The idea of uploading a live performance with all it's mistakes and imperfectness to an actual official streaming site would have been horrific to me a few years back, but here I am doing it for the third time š
People demand to hear the exact version from the video and hate when I re-record and try to make it sound professional as I've learned so here we go
Hope you all have a lovely weekend x

There's a version of "There, There" that I put up on twitter/Instagram/tiktok but haven't put here as it's incomplete and cuts out before the end "THERE THEEEEEREEEE".
Thought you all wouldn't want an incomplete video uploaded, but let me know if you feel otherwise

Message for my Smiths Fans!
Iām not sure if the algorithm has blessed your eyes and ears with the talents of āŖ@HeadlessGuitarPlayerā¬ before but this man is putting in serious work to faithfully recreate The Smiths material with faultless accuracy.
If you want to learn how to play your favourite Smiths songs, or even just sit back and relax and watch a mind blowing Marr-esque performance of all of your favourite songs this is the place to go!
I believe he also has a website that contains tabs etc so itās honestly worth following him and checking out his videos. You wonāt be disappointed šā¤ļø

My cover of Eyes Without A Face by Billy Idol
got over 1 million views on Tiktok so I thought it would be silly not to put something up on Spotify:

Thanks to anyone who does take time to listen š
