One of the number one things I like to do is be a hype man for my students. After teaching for a couple of decades, I’ve seen people go from not being able to play a simple G chord, to writing their own songs. The only reason I have so much confidence in telling them they can learn anything they want, is because I’ve witnessed myself in my own playing and in others time and time again.

Are you just getting started learning guitar?

I’ve been playing for over 20 years, and learned a lot of lessons the hard way. One of my favorite things to do is to help guitarists not go through the same pitfalls I encountered early on.
