I was an original member of the Broadway show Beatlemania. I elected to go my own route. I was a staff songwriter in Los Angeles at A&M Records. I have vast experience. I'll teach you how to play music, what's important to know to be able to play. I won't bog you down with theory, I'll get you to be able to play at a fast clip.
