I teach students everything needed to accomplish the goals they set for themselves whether as a hobbyist or a professional. I have many former students who are now established professionals. I taught Jesse Triplett, lead guitarist of Collective Soul for 6 years. I continue teaching Noah Teal whose most recent credits are with the Gin Blossoms, Sister Hazel, and Coy Bowles from the Zac Brown Band. I’ve also taught Jared Swilley from the Black Lips and J.B. Brisendine from Brother Hawk.
I’m available Monday through Saturday for one-hour video lessons online via Skype, Facebook Messenger and FaceTime. Also available via Zoom invitation.
