About
Learn how to play then you can play what you want. I've been playing in bands and performing for over 40 Years. I specialize in Blues, Classic Rock, Jazz, and progressive.I have played with many great player's, and studied with Harry Leahey. Played with my band Cosmic Smoke,(stopped because the pandemic),Prima Dons, Toe Jam, Cosmic Rock Soup, ZM-my original band. And in the studio now.
I teach step by step what ever style he or she would like to learn, Beginners or more advanced, except finger style.
It's always good to review what you already know, plus you make connections, and inspire people play music.
