Murdock is a highly accomplished UK-based session guitarist, recording artist, and music educator with over 20 years of experience across the stage and studio. As a veteran of the British festival circuit and leader of Murdock & The Mortals, he has earned a reputation for technical versatility, professional grit, and a “first-take” studio ethic.
Currently, Murdock serves as the resident “Guitar Guru” and columnist for NE Guitars Magazine. His contributions to the publication range from high-level gear reviews to deep-dive masterclasses on technical icons like Frank Zappa. Operating from his professional home-studio “Bunker” in Brighton, he offers remote session guitar tracking, bespoke audio engineering, and high-definition online guitar tuition for students and commercial clients worldwide.
As an authority on blues and rock theory, he is the architect of the “Murdock Method”—a no-nonsense instructional philosophy designed to bypass “YouTube fluff” in favor of road-tested mechanics. This methodology is the cornerstone of his definitive book, The Last Blues Guitar Book You’ll Ever Need, which navigates the history of the genre through a unique “Geographic Sparks” narrative.
Beyond the fretboard, Murdock is a recognized illustrator and comic creator within the underground scene. He is the author of the cult sketchbook series Adventures of Murman & Dave Dude, applying the same cinematic, high-contrast aesthetic to his visual storytelling that defines his musical phrasing. Whether providing remote guitar sessions or penning technical features, Murdock’s work is a masterclass in professional continuity and creative excellence.
