About Danny

I am a performing musician and private tutor with over ten years of experience. I teach both acoustic and electric guitar from beginner to professional standard. My styles include Blues, Rock, Heavy Matal and Folk. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in music and a Master’s Degree in Arts-Health (with music) from the University of Central Lancashire.
I am confident in teaching the practical aspects of guitar playing in a patient and cool manner to children or adults of any age with or without disabilities. I can travel to your home to give lessons (within a 30-mile radius of Colne, Lancashire).
My most notable music projects of the past ten years have included playing guitar in the Metal band ‘Reckless Revolution’ at venues around Lancashire between 2009 and 20014. More recently I have been performing solo acoustic cover sets in pubs and clubs around the North West. I also write music. My recent release, entitled ‘Veil of Years’ is available for streaming/ download on Amazon and most other digital streaming/ download platforms. I am currently working on a new album which will be due for release towards the end of 2019.
I began playing the electric guitar at the age of twelve and was driven passionately by an insatiable desire to master the instrument through my teens. My first choices in genre at the time were Rock and Metal. I helped to form a couple of bands whilst I was at school which prepared me to play a leading role in more serious projects later.
After having left school with an A+ in Music, I enrolled on Access to Music: Advanced Diploma in Popular Music Practice at Blackburn College where I joined a rock band consisting of other students on my course. We created Rock covers of Pop songs by the likes of Lady Gaga and Florence and the Machine, and performed at venues in the Blackburn area.
At the age of sixteen I passed grade eight on guitar and began to take on paying students. Many of those students went on to study at university and pursue music as a career.
During my time at the university of central Lancashire, I became acquainted with a diverse range of musical styles, I was involved in the composition of pieces of film music, writing background music for poems and art instillations, as well as several interdisciplinary projects. I became familiar with the influence of visual art styles on music such as pointillism, expressionism and modernism in composition as well as aspects of world music, particularly Indian Classical and I familiarised myself with the basics of several different instruments apart from the guitar. The culmination of my Bachelor’s degree was a final performance (Guitar and Tabla based) which embodied characteristics of Indian Classical music, and a dissertation on the use of Indian Classical music in Music Therapy.
After graduating from my Bachelor’s degree, I enrolled on a Master’s degree in Arts-Health. My project involved studying the relationship between environmental noise and depression. During my time on the MA course I spent six months volunteering at a SEND school, providing music lessons to the kids there. I graduated from the MA with distinction in 2017.

My main influences on the guitar (by genre) are as follows:
Metal:
Randy Rhoads (Ozzy Osbourne), Zakk Wylde (Black Label Society), Dimebag Darrell (Pantera), Matt Tuck (Bullet for my Valentine), Matt Heaffy and Corey Beaulieu (Trivium), James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett (Metallica), Eddie Van Halen (Van Halen), Bjorn Gelotte, Jasper Strombald and Niclas Engelin (In Flames), Ben Moody (Evanescence), Darran Smith (Funeral for a Friend), Yngwie Malmsteen.
