I have been learning to play on Rocksmith 2014 for just over three years and recently took the leap into writing my own songs. I am delighted and a little nervous about presenting the first song I have written, performed and produced. I am learning all the time but I realise without feedback there is only so far an aspiring artist can go. So I have decided to take action and post my work. I hope you like it, please leave comments good or bad, I'm keen to learn. If you are interested in collaboration I would love to hear from you!
