In 2015, Adrian of AJ Lucas Guitars built the first 12-fret variant of his Pavilion Sweep model. I bought in in 2016 after being smitten by it at a gathering.

Adrian completed his second 12-fret Pavilion Sweep in 2019 and he and I got together at the Ullapool Guitar Festival in October 2019 and compared the two guitars. It was a fun afternoon!

I bought a one-year membership of Tony’s Acoustic Challenge in May 2017 and the daily exercises are pure gold. I decided a while back that recording myself playing them would be a good method of ensuring that I actually play them properly and it’s working! And since I’m recording them, it really makes sense to publish them and try to encourage other players to sign up to Tony’s course. I highly recommend it!
