About Me

I am a professional guitarist and guitar instructor. I play and teach Old Time, Bluegrass, Country, Rockabilly, Blues, Classic Rock/Metal. I am currently working on a CD of instrumental American Civil War music performed on acoustic guitar. There will be some Old-Time/Bluegrass style flatpicking, some Carter style fingerpicking, and a little Classical fingerstyle on the CD. I hope you enjoy the (rough) demos on the page. They are only a fraction of the entire project. I am also working on a CD of Stephen Foster tunes performed on acoustic guitar. I am planning several more CD projects next year ranging from Old-Time guitar to Rockabilly, and Cowboy music. Stay tuned!Check out my website: markfergusonmusic.comThanks! Mark Ferguson
