Jimmy McRay

One element which makes playing guitar or ukulele so powerful is its capacity to take listeners for a ride. This one sentence shaped Jimmy McRay as a person and a session musician. Born in Nashville in 1969, Jimmy started playing when he was 7 years old. At the age of 17 he started a career as a session musician. In 1989, a terrible car accident made it all almost impossible... He lost two fingers and his ability to walk… His face had to be reconstructed. But Jimmy didn’t give up! He overcame difficulties and learned to play with 3 remaining fingers of his right hand. He remains still one of the most wanted session musicians and hundreds of students love to spend time with him. A happy father of two kids, fortunate husband of a beautiful woman and passionate teacher, that believes in magical powers of frets and strings.
