I currently do all of my teaching through the Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago, IL. I truly feel that the Old Town School is one of the coolest places on earth. If you are already a student of mine, or have taken classes there in the past, congratulations, you have found the right spot to learn music.
If you are interested in taking private lessons or a group class, Check out www.oldtownschool.org or call 773-728-6000, my extension is: 1544
Some classes I have taught in the past: Sight Reading For the Guitar, Dave Matthews Guitar Styles, Lead guitar, Blues Ensemble, Teen Rock Guitar, Contemporary Pop Acoustic, Guitar Paul Simon Guitar Styles, Radiohead and Coldplay Guitar Styles.

Food for thought:
- Jazz Guitar virtuoso
Django Reinhardt was
badly burned in a fire and only had full use of 2(!) of his fingers on his left hand...yet still went on to become one of the most amazing guitarsts who ever lived.
- Jerry Garcia got one of
his right hand middle
fingers chopped of with an axe (apparently his brother did this by accident...brothers!).
- Elizabeth Cotton was left handed and learned to play a right handed guitar upside down. Why? Because no one told her she was "doing it wrong"...and thank god for that.
