Hi
I am a guitar teacher and performer in the San Francisco
Bay area. Teaching, sharing, being a mentor to my
students is my first and best calling. My students receive
a formal, traditional education in music with a splash of
humor and fun. I am an encouraging type teacher.
I teach reading notation and tab, music theory, and
improvisation. All styles. My favorite styles are jazz,
rock, blues...well...everything. I also teach and play
finger style solo guitar. Some of my favorite musicians
are Charlie Parker, Tal Farlow, Jeff Beck, Chet Atkins,
Eddie Van Halen, Wayne Krantz, and hundreds more.
I have been teaching full time since 1975 and started
playing gigs with a twenty piece jazz band in 1966 at the
age of 13!
I am now playing solo guitar for company parties, art
and wine festivals, backyard parties, restaurants. Also
music therapy at rehabilitation centers.
I have recordings listed in CDbaby (see Sound samples).
