I'm available for private lessons for acoustic and electric guitar (fingerstyle or flatpicked), harmonica, slide guitar, lap steel, ukulele, voice, mandolin, banjo, bass, many folk and ethnic instruments, improvisation and music theory.

I also can help you to learn guitar and other fretted and stringed instrument adjustment, maintenance and repair (or I can do repairs and adjustments or upgrades on your instrument for you).

I've been teaching and playing professionally for over 30 years and plan your lessons to meet your specific musical goals.

I'm comfortable with many musical genres; acoustic and electric blues, rock, country, roots music, jazz, bluegrass, folk, and am confident in teaching beginner through intermediate classical guitar technique. I teach at my home in Green, Ohio or will travel to your home or office within a reasonable distance. I'll do online lessons too, but would only recommend online lessons for students who aren't absolute beginners.
