Unparalleled, expert private guitar instruction. Highly skilled master of jazz, blues, rock, shred, country, and all acoustic fingerstyles. I prefer teaching adults, all levels, from beginners to pros. I also teach qualified minors, age 12 minimum. Those who want the best seek me out. I can save you time!

I have been a full-time professional guitarist/private teacher for over 32 years, assisting literally thousands of students to become the best guitarists they can be. I have played over 3,000 professional gigs in all styles of music in nightclubs, casinos, touring bands, studio recording gigs, restaurants, concerts, festivals, resort hotels, weddings, corporate functions and more (I went pro at age 16). I am also the author of four instructional guitar books with Mel Bay Publications.

I am dedicated to your success, and I provide a guitar-learning experience that is superior in every way. That ability comes only from an extensive performance history, 40 years of personal study and achievement on the guitar, and decades of teaching experience.
