Tom took up the guitar at the age of 15 after being inspired by his Dad’s incredible fingerstyle guitar playing and quickly developed a love for the instrument. Being addicted to players such as Steve Vai, John Petrucci and Brett Garsed, Tom initially focused on rock technique before developing a huge interest in Jazz and Fusion. At this point Tom changed to his reknowned 4th’s tuning and studied Jazz, graduating with a Jazz Performance degree in 2002 from Leeds College of Music. Since graduating Tom has developed to become one of the foremost fusion legato players in the world with a strong reputation in both the teaching and playing world, having produced a large number of highly acclaimed tuition products for his own website and Lick Library that have helped literally thousands of guitar players from every corner of the planet. He has conducted masterclasses and played all over the world giving him acclaim that means he can count Dweezil Zappa, John Petrucci, Brett Garsed, Greg Howe, Andy Timmons and Tim Miller amongst his many fans. Tom currently plays with some of the best fusion musicians in the world – right now he is working in a duo project with fusion ace Martin Miller having toured Europe and played Japan at the end of 2014 and will be releasing his debut album soon along with many other projects for 2015. He is lucky enough to have five signature instruments with Fibenare Guitars and a highly popular signature overdrive pedal with Wampler Pedals called the Dual Fusion, that can be found on the boards of some of the worlds greatest players.
Tom plays Fibenare Guitars, Wampler Pedals, IQS Strings and Timbertone picks and is incredibly proud to be using the amazing Laney Lionheart 2×12 combo amplifier to craft his tone.
