Steve ‘cut his teeth’ at the tender age of 23 writing for the UK’s best selling guitar magazine Total Guitar. He got the gig after sending in reams of fiendishly widdly guitar music (no doubt inspired by Steve Vai’s Frank Zappa transcriptions). Starting out with product demos, Steve eventually went on to produce the regular rock guitar column and became the ‘go to rock guy’, writing well over 50 columns and more than 1000 transcriptions. Along the way, Steve has interviewed many of the great gunslingers from Marty Friedman and Joe Satriani to Steve Vai, although the his run-in with the late, great (and exceedingly drunk) Dimebag Darrell after a 24 hour bender at the Kerrang awards will forever go down in infamy. Steve went on to far more conservative gigs with Guitar Techniques, Total Accuracy, RGT and Rockschool. As well as transcribing, Steve has toured in the real world with the likes of Ronan Keating, Lily Allen and Mica Paris and also had a past life as a sideman with various stints on TV, radio and sessions with the likes of Westlife, LeAnn Rimes, Alicia Keys, Max Gilkes (Lily Allen) Nayo, Kitayah (Andy Gangadeen). Steve has also been a passionate educator for over 20 years, first at the ACM in Guildford, becoming head of guitar at BIMM Brighton in 2004 and later head of live performance at BIMM London in 2014.
