I teach musicianship on the guitar. You'll learn how to play from ear as well as how to play from written music. All topics of musicianship are covered using songs from all genres: relative pitch, intervals, chords, scales, rhythm, improvisation, arranging, composition and notation.

I'm a featured co-author on many wikiHow articles including:

How to Write a Guitar Solo

How to Learn Scales

How to Learn to Play Electric Guitar

How to Buy a Guitar

My focus is on understanding how to creatively apply these concepts to the entire fretboard.   I have over 30 years of playing and 20 years of teaching experience.

I regularly perform as a solo musician and as a member of various bands.  I've also produced local artists and have scored movies that ran in national film festivals.
