Seminars for Advanced Guitar Players

One-on-One or Small Groups

A one time class where I teach you everything I know and give you the tools so that all you have to do from there is practice, practice, practice.
If you’ve been playing for years but still don’t understand how all the info from all the books you’ve read quite make sense, this is for you. I will show you how everything is relative and works together.
