Although I can alternatively listen to folk, ballads, traditional, country, classic, acoustic, flamenco, scottish and occasionally techno music. Instrumental guitarists tend to take a while to get used to their taste, texture and feel - it's very, VERY advanced stuff, eventually you'll realise the guitar can actually melodically sing far more eloquently than any vocalist, in my view. But no first timer can listen to Yngwie Malmsteen - Far Beyond The Sun for example - and understand it straight away, it's just not done, it takes time and a creative mind. I'm not a massive fan of hip-hop, grime, pop, rap, death metal, thrash or anything that's too heavyweight, untalented or is not listenable. I respect anyone who can play the guitar well, because I know how dedicated you need to be. My favourite ever song, and I do mean ever is Ceremony, a track on the 1998 album Crystal Planet. The song itself is so inspiring and wonderful to listen to, the main riff is extremely powerful and the solo is ridiculous (as in awesome). It is sadly an underrated Satch tune - maybe that's why I never hear it played live any longer.

Aviation articles, magazines and anything by Roald Dahl, Ted Hughes or Carol Ann Duffy. I also like Arthur Miller's drama works. If you know a good read you may recommend it to me. The Great Gatsby is a novel that I like.
