About Me
I can get you past the barriers of learning Bass or Guitar with my one on one in person or Zoom Conferencing lessons! Based off my 20 years of studio work/ touring prior to attending two advanced music colleges in the late nineties, I have developed a method for any level student, which covers ear training, timing, finger picking, hybrid flat picking, chord structures, scales, and most importantly, collaborating with others you may know without being dependant on watching their moves! I always encourage students to select two favorite songs to learn. I cover many genres of music leaving you lots of options.
I have been a studio musician/ touring professional since 1985 and I've taught many bass and guitar students from Boston, Colorado, New Mexico, North Carolina, Vermont, and Tennessee mentoring both non music reading students, advanced level players, to studio and touring musicians. I have also won awards for my songs.
I host private one on one lessons via the Zoom Conference app which is free and is the industry standard among colleges. Students use Zelle through their bank or The Cash App for simple efficient payments. If you like Chet Atkins, Robben Ford, Vince Gill,Tommy Emmanuel, Brooks and Dunn, Ronnie'solo works, classic rock, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's classic country then you'll love my lessons! Any style is possible! I'm listed on Google with all five star reviews. Please Book lessons here (contact me)
