Overview

As a musician and music lover I have a love of sharing the knowledge I have accumulated about blues guitar playing and history.

Here's a PDF copy of my teaching and performance resume.

Private Students-I teach private guitar lessons in Seattle. I play accoustic as well as electric styles in standard and open tunings. For examples of guitar lessons see a site put together covering information for prospective students. This site also features my final project for the University of Washington's Ethnomusicology department which was an in-depth look at the development of slide guitar traditions.

Group Classes-In 2003 I organized and taught a Blues History class at the University of Washington's Experimental College. This class was a seven week overview on the complex development of this American Musical genre. For details on the course including basic syllabus and outline, as well as a more in depth ouline for download go to the courses page on this site.

From the summer of 2003 thru the summer of 2005 a led a Blues Ensemble through the Seattle Drum School.  In the summer of 2004 I also taught a group class on The Harmonic Series and Musical Temperaments.  I would love to teach some group classes in the near future if their is enough interest in any of these topics.  Please e-mail me with any questions.
