Welcome to my website!

First of all,
I'm a teacher who loves teaching!! From Denver's" SWALLOW HILL" to 15 years at Regis University, I have taught hundreds of students guitar, bass,
and even 5-string banjo. I've also always included a healthy dose of The TONALITY REFERENCE GUIDE in my lessons so that students can see and understand why and how basic chords/scales create most of the music we enjoy listening to. My books are tweaked and "fat-free", and I'm excited about being able to introduce both of them on the internet!

FINGERPICKING PLUS is a great guide to a groovin' right hand for all guitar players. From common "double-thumbing" finger picking patterns to various strums and "clutches", FINGERPICKING PLUS transforms a simple chord into something that MOVES.   THE TONALITY REFERENCE GUIDE is the ultimate music theory supplement because THE TONALITY REFERENCE GUIDE shows it all! Chords, scales and the elusive modes are all there to clearly see, and it's a perfect learning tool for both students and teachers.

 

I'm also a player with an extensive background in recording, arranging and composing, and currently have three instrumental CDs available. All of them are a mixture of different styles of music with an emphasis on the acoustic guitar. I continue to get great response from new listeners and hope you'll check out the current audio samples.

There's more on the horizon!
