Take Private Harp Lessons

About Me

My name's Matt, I've been playing guitar since 1986 and have been teaching guitar since 1991.

When not teaching, I'm usually found practicing or performing with my band onstage or at an open mic night somewhere. I grew up in the Pacific NW & love it here..

I've networked & jammed/played with many NW Legends including: Roger Fisher (Heart),
Jeff Kathan (Edgar Winter/The Firm/Montrose),
Lynn Sorensen (Paul Rogers/Bad Company/Free)
Jamie Vandal (Jamie & The Vandals),
