I think people read “about” pages for two main reasons. They want to know, “Is this person credible?” and “What can they do for me?” So, here’s some of the music stuff I’ve done over a 25 year professional guitarist career that I’m proud of:

I'm the Acoustic guitar lesson columnist for Guitar Techniques magazine since 2004. I’ve written lessons for the world’s leading guitar magazines - Guitar World, Guitarist, Total Guitar and more
