Although I no longer take on private guitar students for one-on-one lessons, I confess I certainly do miss the teaching! Life led me in a different direction.

But even after stopping teaching, one thing I was left with was a massive wealth of material that I used to provide for my students – all the handwritten score sheets, photocopies and scans, downloaded TABs from the internet, and the sheets I would type up.

It was this material that I used to create the 3 X Performance Series books.

These are the same pieces that we used to learn bit by bit, then eventually string it all together and have a big jam!

Between the 3 X books there are 150 pieces to play – a huge amount of material across a diverse range of styles and difficulty levels.

I still play all these same pieces, they never seem get old and from the easy to the challenging every single one of them sounds good.
