About
I've been playing guitar for 30 years and can appreciate all genres. I love nurturing the enthusiasm for music. Developing proper dexterity that guitar requires a through a curriculum of fingering exercises and songs that develope the muscles and also keep the brain interested. I played in many local bands in Houston Texas playing guitar, bass and vocals.
The excitement when hard work pays off and the student gets their first " aha moment".
