About
I've been playing guitar for seventeen years, the last three as a full-time professional in Los Angeles. I have a degree in Studio/Jazz Guitar from Thornton School of Music at USC. I've been fortunate enough the study with some of the best players in the world, and I'm able to pass the knowledge I've learned over the years to my current students. Proficient in all styles - rock, blues, jazz, country and funk, and make all my lessons fun and exciting.
