    About Tony B.

    *** Studio Equipment *** Piano, Acoustic Guitars, Electric Guitars and Amps, Mandolin, Dobro, capo's, music stands and much more. *** Travel Equipment *** I bring: Lesson plans, IPad, Guitar, extra strings and guitar tuneup tools for the students guitars that need help (I also do instrument repairs and setup). Student needs to bring his instrument and last weeks lesson plan and a good attitude! *** Specialties *** I specialize in modern country electric guitar and rock guitar. I teach a chordal approach to improvisation. Making the guitar sound like a Pedal Steel Guitar requires a good knowledge of music theory. I teach advanced rock guitar also. Not just one aspect but the total package of how to blend with a band, stage presence, getting a good tone that cuts through without making ears bleed in the first row as well as how to play a good solo and hold down a good rhythm.
