Jon Pickard started playing piano at 6. At 15 he picked up the electric guitar and did gigs and sessions in London for 9 years. He became bored with music until someone gave him a classical guitar CD. He sold his electrics, bought a classical guitar and learned stuff like Asturias and Recuerdos by ear. Then he decided to get some proper tuition at university where he earned a first class degree. He now plays regular gigs and weddings where his music is moving away from classical towards flamenco.
He plays Carlo Domeniconi's “Koyunbaba” on Mewburn Flamenco peghead number 35.
