Hello folks! Sorry I haven't posted anything in a while but I wanted to let everyone know that I've been doing some lessons in person at The Esoterium studio. I only ask that masks are worn at all times. I get tested for Covid once a week so I can assure everyone that I'm virus free. Skype lessons are still available too if you don't want to risk it. Hit me up!

Here I am presenting Ben with the Johnny Ramone Mosrite Ventures II guitar that I built for him as an early wedding gift. His fiance (now his wife) Bree is the middle.

After 5 months (191 days to be exact) I finally get to surprise Ben with this guitar.

And finally, my all time favorite piece of Classical guitar music.

"Registro" was composed by Antonio Lauro in a Venezuelan prison in 1948. He was locked up because of his strong belief in democracy and the fact that he was a famous composer with a lot of influence over the people. Kinda like Nixon did to John Lennon in the 70's, except Tricky Dick failed and rock n' roll prevailed!
I'll post a different kind of video on Monday, so stay tuned!
