*Guitar Lessons*

Hello and Welcome,

If you've been looking for a place to take guitar lessons then you've arrived at the right place. Guitar lessons from me are only $30.00 an hour. I teach progressive Rock and Jazz Fusion. I have an Associates Degree in Music from Henry Ford Community College, where I studied Jazz and Classical guitar with John Hall and Jazz improvisation with legendary jazz great Ed Nucelli. I'm currently pursuing a degree in Classical Guitar Performance at Wayne State University.

My musical influences are Vinnie Moore, Steve Vai, Paul Gilbert, Jimi Hendrix,Yngwie Malmsteen, Wes Mountgomery, Richie Blackmore, Al Di Meola, Joe Satriani, Paco De Lucia, and Eddie Hazel. My Classical influences are John Williams, Christopher Parkening, Julian Bream, Scott Tennant and Andrés Segovia

Over the years I've studied with some of Michigan's best Jazz & Classical Guitar Players. They include Lee Dyament (WSU), Brian Roberts (WSU) John Hall (HFCC) Michael Bryce (UMD) Steve Carrier (WSU). I have also given concerts at the Southfield Public Library and The Under Graduate Library at Wayne State University. I often perform when there is a meeting of the Classical Guitar Society of Michigan on the 3rd tuesday of every month.

If you're on the campus of Wayne State University and wish to leave a message regarding lessons I can be reached at box 46 in the Student Services Office located in the basement of the Student Center Building. You can also E-mail me.

For those of you who are in the Lincoln Park area I teach guitar at A&R music on mondays from 4:30 to 7:30. If you're interested in taking guitar lessons you can e-mail me or schedule a lesson at the store. Lessons are cheaper if you take them through A&R.
