George Collins.

Many aspiring guitar players dream of turning their hobby into a career, and for most budding musicians, the vague outline of this dream remains consistent: to travel the world, play at sell-out venues, and make a living as a full-time guitar player.

Alas, for a lot players this dream will remain just that: a dream. But for others, it can become a reality. George Collins – a young guitar player who moved more than 4,000 miles from the UK to Boston to pursue an education in the instrument – is one such player.
