About James Hylands

Hello and thanks for taking the time to learn more about me. I think the easiest way to describe me is a person who is creative, driven and someone who likes to make people laugh until their stomach's ache.

I am a musician who plays all kinds of guitar, guitar synth, bass guitar, and keyboards. Relax, the negative in the photo is not backwards it is a left-handed guitar. Playing left-handed in the late seventies made finding left-handed guitars pretty tough. They were rare if you could find one in a music store and cost a lot more. So when I first started playing I learned to play upside down and backwards on a right-handed guitar. Kid you not. I struggled like that for a bit then put a new nut on and strung it left-handed and away I went.

Music came to me late in life. I was 16 and a half when I got the "bug". The greatest thing I can say about music is that it is your best friend. Whatever you are feeling or thinking it can help you get through it, it is always there for you.
