Lessons

I offer private music lessons on guitar, banjo and mandolin either in person in Seattle or via Zoom.

Guitar: I am fluent in the roots styles of Country, Bluegrass, Western Swing, and Folk.

Banjo: really just a Bluegrass player. If you are interested in Clawhammer/old-time I can refer you to someone who can help.

Mandolin: I like teaching American Fiddle Tunes repertoire, Bluegrass, and folk/pop music.

I teach with Tab and by ear, and enjoy teaching music theory as it applies to the styles I play.

Why do I teach? I was fortunate to have good teachers and enjoy I helping others unlock the mysteries and joys of making music.

Where it all started - Holcomb’s Banjo and Guitar Shop in Campbell, CA (that’s me in the middle) ca1978
