Learn from Great Bass Guitar Teachers

I am a professional musician. I have 38 years of experience in teaching, recording, and performing live. My area of expertise is the guitar. I have a wide range of familiarity in many genres including Rock, Jazz, Classical, and Country. I have taught all ages and levels of ability for over 3 decades.

About Me & My Teaching Approach Professional Background With over 30 years of professional performance and 25 years of teaching experience, my musical journey has spanned across Mexico, Canada, and Brazil. I am a multi-instrumentalist (Bass, Guitar, Piano, and Drums) and a composer currently preparing for an international performance contract with Disney.

I absolutely love teaching music! After over 20 years of teaching, performing, writing, and recording in all styles/genres, it continues to be a great adventure. It is a joy to pass this on to others...especially seeing my students that never touched the instrument going on to be very proficient players.

I have been teaching lessons full time for a living since 1987. Over that time span, I have learned so so much in my lessons. My basic vibe is, I am learning new things constantly, for example, I learned Paul Gilbert's Fuzz Universe and taught it to one of my students. No easy task for any player! I spent 12 years as a serious Spanish Classical player.

I’ve been playing the guitar for twenty-eight years now, and studied with a variety of teachers including Bob Ferguson (a classical guitarist) and Michael Harris (a platinum selling metal guitarist). I began teaching guitar lessons when I was a sophomore at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio.

I cut my teeth drumming in speed-punk bands, acting/singing in a traveling theatre troupe, and eventually fronting an alt-rock band, for over a decade. I’ve worked on a number of albums for independent artists as a session musician, co-writer, producer, engineer, or mixer; often all of the above.
