I’m a contributing writer for MusicRadar, and have been playing guitar for more than 15 years. I’ve spent more than 10 of those playing and gigging in bands, and many more trying to figure out how to finish writing songs. In the last few years, I’ve also taken up the sticks in the hopes of fulfilling my boyhood dream - to drum along to Songs for the Deaf and Zeppelin IV. When I’m not writing articles or noodling on a Telecaster, I also write extensively for TechRadar and Tom’s Guide.
