Guitar with Drew R.

Drew got a guitar at the age of 11, and started taking formal lesson right away. He was drawn to classic rock and blues early on. While taking lessons he was introduced to different styles such as Jazz, Funk, Metal, and Shred. He stopped taking lessons after a year and began to learn by transcribing songs by ear.
