Greetings and a Happy New Year to everyone! Thanks for visiting my site. There have been some changes in my life this last year and I’m looking forward to 2010. After neglecting it for some time, harpguitar.com has finally been rebuilt and is now live at the beginning of this new year. Thanks to my friends at TrueFire.com for their help with that!
All the best!!!

Most of my recordings are available for sale in my online store. Since I have too much stock sitting around of some of the titles, there are great sale prices!

New courses coming…
December 4th, 2009
The instructional guitar course I did with TrueFire a couple of years ago is getting lots of good feedback. It’s called Fingerstyle Finesse and is available on the Store page. Throughout the course, I emphasize and demonstrate key concepts such as the importance of melody in all aspects of your playing and composition, integrating harmonics, working the backbeat, working with a capo, composing original material along with a variety of other techniques and concepts that will “finesse” your playing and compositional skills. Learn more!
In the works this year are two new projects I’m going to do in conjunction with TrueFire. We’re planning a course concentrating on my approach to playing slide guitar AND also a course on playing harp guitar. Stay tuned!
