I am a professional recording artist, performing musician, and music instructor (guitar, bass, piano) based in San Francisco. I have authored a number of music instruction books, including A Guitarist's Guide to Improvising With Knowledge (2013), Essentials of Rhythm Guitar (2016), Speed, Accuracy, and Technique for Guitar (2013), and Speed, Accuracy, and Technique for Bass (2015). With a degree in Jazz Performance and over 20 years of performing/recording experience, I am comfortable in a wide variety of musical genres, including rock, pop, blues, country, and funk. I currently perform as a singer, guitarist, and keyboardist for House of Floyd, a Pink Floyd tribute band.

My method of guitar/bass recording is to record a clean direct line, polish up the track as needed using Melodyne, then add virtual amps, equalization, and effects with Line 6 Helix Native plug-in. For keyboard recording, I record both wav and MIDI data simultaneously for easy post-editing. These methods allow me to make alterations quickly and easily to get you the exact result you are looking for. That's my 100% guarantee.

PRS Custom 24 (setup for rock/pop/funk)
PRS Custom 24 (setup for slide)
Fender Elite Stratocaster (setup for rock/pop/blues/country/funk)
