GUITAR PLAYING AND LESSONS

LESSONS INFORMATION

The Story

In 1992, I acquired a Gibson/Epiphone.
For over ten years, I have been dusting the case of the unused guitar.
January 2006, I made a resolution that I would learn to play that guitar.
I needed more music in my life.

Now it is 2008 and I'm still learning to play the guitar. I purchased a new concert sized Taylor this past summer and love it. It's a work of art. From family and friends comments, my instructor is doing a great job considering the material he has to work with.

I have recorded a few of my songs, details can be found by clicking the link below:

I have had a few inquiries about my instructor. Although guitar instruction is not his vocation, he is interested in taking on other students.
