Gary Teaches Guitar
About
I have played guitar for 57 years. Most important, I work with my students where they are, helping them evolve at their own natural pace without pressure. My teaching is supportive, yet very effective. I love helping people find their voice on this wonderful instrument that has meant so much in my life as a performer and creator.
