I’ve been playing guitar since 1995 and teaching since 1999. I like writing neat chord progressions and improvising<\/a>. I like spontaneous solos rather than written out ones. This comes from laziness and creativity. I love music theory and appreciate music that shows creativity in this way. Like many guitarists, I’m very good at hearing things by ear and learning them on guitar, but not such a good music reader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started recording on a friend’s borrowed 4-track in high school. There’s nothing quite like putting your creative musical ideas on a physical medium, learning things like ping-ponging and mixing on cassette tapes! Ever since then, I’ve enjoyed researching, testing, and even building musical electronics. You can see the gear I use here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a curated list from my musical past (click on a category).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
