Hi there!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m a classical guitarist \u00a0who\u00a0also writes music for guitar groups of all sizes with the occasional foray into orchestral and chamber music.<\/em><\/p>\n

I also regularly conduct the odd group – from the National Youth Guitar Ensemble of Britain<\/a> to wildly enthusiastic older adults (for whom much of my music is written), amateur orchestras and early music ensembles (in the old days).<\/em><\/p>\n

I have recorded around 12 CDs, half of which have been for Naxos, and the others for Meridian and Saga (a long defunct company).<\/em><\/p>\n

I seem to be travelling a lot at the moment and come across amazing guitarists, guitar makers and musicians as well as writers and artists (and their pets). There is more about me here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

My friend Nigel<\/a> thought that I should start a blog of classical guitar things which I find interesting, so these pages are tentative steps in that direction.<\/em><\/p>\n

Why the title of the blog?<\/em><\/p>\n

Apart from the<\/em> convenience of being able to acronynimise it to GGG (well, almost). It might end up as Gerald’s Guitar Garbage.
