Nine year old pupil sends me recording of her playing the intro to the Cure's 'Friday I'm in Love', with which she was having difficulty, with the very syncopated rhythm on the guitar's melodic solo. And she finally gets it right! Teaching is not its own reward, I still have to pay the bills, but there are good moments

Night over Kentish Town
A bit blurry, but this was taken with a phone camera, I think it's not too bad. Next time, a tripod. #night #kentishtown #londonbynight #cityscape #shotwithiphone

What lies beyond the dark

Yep, another #sunset in #kentishtown #london #coloursofthesky

As the sun begins to set #kentishtown #lateafternoonlight #london #sunset

Happy New Year a little belatedly from London. Looking pretty much like the previous year, so far, alas. Patience.

Adding a guitar reference page to my little guitar lessons website. Not a lot in there as yet, and almost all of it classical guitar related but both things may change, time allowing (and time, alas, may indeed allow for the next couple of weeks)

There have been a few enquiries about guitar lessons and a couple of new pupils starting. One is a young woman having done Gr 8 piano & theory and wants to do same on guitar. At least some good things happening in these strange, strange times!

@pogodragon I wonder whether you've found any acquaintances here.

@pogodragon Hello! Nice to see you here :)

Autumn has arrived in Falkland Road. Somebody’d told me off for not taking the autumn pic of this tree last year as I’d been doing every year. Here it is #autumn #falklandroad #kentishtown #tree #northlondon #redleaves🍁
