About My Guitar

I write about how guitars behave - in the hands, in the room, and in the small decisions that shape tone. The project sits at the intersection of writing, sound, and experiential explanation. It’s built for players who want to understand what they’re hearing and feeling, without the noise or the myths.

My approach comes from years spent looking closely at practice: the gestures, habits, and tacit knowledge that musicians rely on but rarely name. Later work in forensic baselining sharpened that instinct, grounding it in careful observation and clear language. Those influences still guide how I listen, how I write, and how I explain.

Here you’ll find essays, experiments, and ongoing series - including The Story of Modes and Six Moments in the Life of a Plucked Note. Everything is written with economy and respect for the reader’s attention.

If you want to explore the wider project, including the index of guitar writing and the method behind the work, you’ll find it at myguitar.blog.
