The truth. Perhaps now is the time to get hunkered down and make a serious effort to learn how to play that guitar. Drop me a line and I’ll schedule you in for lessons.

As the colder days of Fall are settling in and people are heading indoors, now’s the time to pick up that guitar in the corner. I can help get you on the right track with proper hand technique, chording, scales, tuning by ear and many other essential elements. Don’t just guess your way around the guitar. Get the foundation and framework and then begin to really enjoy playing. Drop me a line and I’ll schedule you in for lessons. Cheers.

Hello everyone. I’ve had a busy summer of traveling and gigs since the summer break started. I did a tour of Europe with DOA, playing shows in Germany, Belgium, Austria, Slovakia, Poland, Holland and England. I’ve also played a handful of shows with my acoustic duo and more with Thee High Watts as well as more shows around BC with DOA. I’ll be starting up guitar lessons again next week. Drop me a line and we can get you scheduled in. Speaking of the High Watts, we’re playing a free show tonight in Nelson at Railtown. The last Thursday Social of the summer. 6-8. Food, drinks, kids. Great way to end the summer.

Hello folks. Perhaps now is the time to dust off that guitar in the corner that you’ve been avoiding. You can master it if you put in the time and get a little guidance to get you on track. I still have a few spaces left for guitar students. Drop me a line and I’ll schedule you in. Cheers.

Hey everyone. It’s been a super busy summer of touring with the band for me. I played 45 shows since the end of May all over the States and a few in BC. I’m back home now and guitar lessons are starting up for the fall as of this Tuesday, September 4th. Send me a message and I’ll schedule you in. In the meantime, here’s a spacey track that I recorded in the spring. You can listen/purchase it at my Bandcamp page. Cheers.
