    About Zack D.

    Hi there! My name is Zack. I've been a guitar player, singer, composer and performer since I started playing almost 13 years ago. I've been teaching for about half of that time, since 2009 both online and in person. My life's passion is composing and performing music. Any time I'm able to pass the beauty of music (whether guitar, singing or songwriting) onto another person I'm a happy man. I'd do it for free if I didn't have to pay the bills. My style is mainly folk but I've been in a variety of bands ranging from folk to heavy metal and will be happy to help with any style desired within my capabilities. I offer a reasonable price since I was never classically trained to read musical partiture. This hasn't affected my ability to learn and strive at guitar, voice, composition and performance. My clients aren't interested in reading music, rather learning and CREATING in their own style.
