About
I spend more time than most for less money. I write my own songs and have recorded. Although I don't do this for a living I have been around guitar and music for 30 years.
LOVE seeing people learn and RUN with what I teach them.
It means more than any amount of money paid and again that's why i spend more time than most for less money than most charge.

What are you looking to accomplish. What is the goal? A past time? A serious study as in a career? What kind of music do you want to learn and possibly why?
