About
Guitars are the most enduring, satisfying, practical, and enjoyable instruments ever known to humanity! At Fireseed Arts we not only play and teach guitar and bass, we make them too! Wether you want to learn your way around the fretboard, or how to play your favorite songs, or even build your starter or dream guitar, we can show you how.
I enjoy the freedom and creativity that is inherant in making music. Playing guitar has been a lifelong passion for me for the past 40 years! From rock, to latin - funk, to fingerpicking styles... I continue to grow, and find more to love about learning the guitar, and music. I truly enjoy sharing what I've learned.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to find out the favorite songs, bands, and guitar players who inspire you before we proceed to finding out where you are on your guitar. I can help you get to playing from beginner to intermediate, and even onto some advanced techniques if I know what you like and where you want to go.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've been a professional and semi professional player for over 35 years. My experiences range from the recording studio, to stages around the world, both as a songwriter and as a performer.
I've taught guitar and bass at the Real School of Music in Burlington, and privately for over 2 decades.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I like to offer a half hour or 1 hour lesson, once per week based on the goals of the student. Prices depend on wether the student travels to me or I travel to them.
How did you get started teaching?
I was asked by friends to start teaching.
What types of students have you worked with?
I've worked with children of all ages and many adults, males and females. Primarily beginner to intermediates.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I got to see the Rolling Stones for my second time this year, and Santana with the Doobie Brothers too.
It's a fact of life that the guitar is here to stay!
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Look for a teacher who respects your musical tastes, and understands your learning style.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
A common question is: What do I need to get started as a guitar player? Be wary of teachers who try to sell you more than you need.
