Hi,
Welcome to Ben Sherman Guitar, not clothes (on the other hand, why not?). I have been playing and teaching guitar professionally in the Maryland area for over 25 years. Pursuit of excellence is always a priority, but so is having fun and communicating how much I love music. I enjoy a variety of styles, and my gig schedule reflects that: currently I can be found playing acoustic solo, as a duo with Elena Martin, the Ben Sherman Group, with a rotating cast of stellar bass players and drummers; as part of local classic rock legends Hectic Red, playing jazz-fusion with Ben Sherman's Jazz Thing, or filling in with any of a number of local bands.
SOLO ACOUSTIC
ACOUSTIC DUO

BEN SHERMAN'S JAZZ THING

HECTIC RED

CLASSICAL GUITAR
FLUTE AND GUITAR DUO
with Marlee Lindon.I studied classical guitar for 10 years and although gig opportunities are few, I always look forward to any chance to perform in that style.I enjoy just about every style of music, but my biggest influences on guitar have been people like Jeff Beck, Steve Morse, Eric Johnson, Allan Holdsworth, Scott Henderson and the like, so when the opportunity to record my own music arrived, I followed my passion and got into all-instrumental jazz-rock fusion. I have at this point recorded two CDs in that vein, and another CD as part of the classical Flute and Guitar Duo with flutist Marlee Lindon. I hope to record again, but currently my creative energy is going into writing guitar lessons for the Music Dojo online instruction website, and also eventually an instructional book of my guitar lessons. I have been teaching private lessons for many years at Coffey Music in Westminster MD.In my spare time I do all my own knitting and baking and keep up with my backhand, and I keep all these little paper bags very neatly folded in case anyone ever needs a paper bag I have one...JANE, STOP THIS CRAZY THING, JANE!!!!!!!!!I love what I do.A few websites for you:www.benshermanguitar.com
