I used Fender Play for 8 weeks to learn the guitar from scratch – here’s how I got on

As the wife of a professional guitar writer and an avid gig-goer myself, my life has always revolved around guitars, bands, and live music. To me, music is everything. It’s what I use to relax and escape, and I count everything from ‘80s goth darlings The Cure to grunge titans Nirvana, as well as a few heavier acts such as Alexisonfire and Deftones, as my all-time favorites.

I’m a music lover and avid gig-goer based in North-East Scotland. If I’m not listening to my favorite artists, I’m watching a music documentary or planning which gigs I want to get tickets for next! That is when I’m not listening to my husband testing out new guitars at home as part of his role as a writer for Guitar World or going to watch him play locally with his band. I’m a lover of all things grunge and have recently embarked on my own guitar-learning journey. I also enjoy going to the gym and running when I’m not chilling out at home with my beloved greyhound, Zeus.
