Picked up an acoustic guitar at age 40 around 2010 after a 20 year hiatus. Found Justin’s free lessons and began the journey. I’d say I’m an intermediate player at this point. I completed all the beginner and intermediate courses. Focused now more on Blues and Theory.

I got an electric guitar around 2018. My goal is to become an advanced player. Sometimes I wonder if I’ll get there, but I do see improvement year over year so I’m hopeful.

I love playing blues and rock. My influences are many and include Albert King, SRV, Hendrix, Clapton, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, ZZ Top, Allman Bros, Santana, Chilli Peppers, Mayer, Ray Buchanan, Alvin Lee, Stone Temple Pilots, Pearl Jam, and so many others.

I have also learned how to play worship music and play in our church band. It is quite a different genre and requires a whole different approach and I love that also.
