About Me

I'm a bit of a musical schizophrenic, always dabbling with different musical styles and instruments. I play acoustic and electric guitar, lap-steel, pedal-steel, dobro, and mandolin. In addition to working as a sideman with various bands, I write and perform solo instrumental guitar music, which you can hear on this page.
I worked for several years as the music editor for Acoustic Guitar magazine, and currently work as a music transcriber and web developer. I was a previous winner of the fingerstyle guitar competion at the Telluride Music Fesitival. I've written several guitar method books and have contributed articles and transcriptions to all the major guitar magazines and publishers. Check out some of my instructional guitar books here.

I currently play with the Atherton . Our new CD, Skyline Motel , is out now. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Our other CDs are good, too. Our minor hit, "California", can be found on our CD, Pale Summer , and is included on the MTV soundtrack compilation: Laguna Beach: Summer Can Last Forever.
