About Me


Musician, published author, guitar instructor, and an honors graduate from a music school.
I've been playing guitar since an early age and have been playing in bands and teaching for around 20 years. I graduated with honors from the Atlanta Institute Of Music (Guitar Major) and was a student tutor.
I have taught guitar classes for the National Guitar Workshop (NGW), Ivy Tech Community College, and I've been asked to take over guitar classes at the University Of Southern Indiana starting this summer.
I currently teach at The Guitar Lab in Evansville, IN. To sign up for lessons call the Guitar Lab at (812) 402-5656
I have three books published through Hal Leonard (Harmonics For Guitar, Introduction To Guitar Tone And Effects, and Teach Yourself To Play Guitar), one book published through Cherry Lane (The Stylistic History Of Metal Guitar).
I have a new book published with Centerstream Publications, its called Muting The Guitar and should be released summer 2008.
In addition to my writing and teaching, I also perform with the local group Bosko and we recently released our debut album "Ladies And Gentlemen".
Bosko performs locally in Evansville, frequently playing gigs at Little Cheers, Club Baja, and RiRa (to name a few "hot spots").
Aside from my passion for music...I also love going to concerts, reading, watching movies, playing video games (I LOVE MY XBOX 360!), laughing, and having interesting intelligent conversation. A must!
Here is a video edit of a recent guitar workshop I did at Guitar Center called "Taming The Beast: The Controls Of The Electric Guitar".
