So much effort is wasted by not knowing which way to go, what gear to buy, what techniques will lead to regular gigs and optimized tone & feel. My objective is to convey real world experience in order to impart a training regimen that will empower the student. Watching the proverbial light flash in a students eye has provided me with the greatest satisfaction in teaching.
-Expert play with 35 years exp. 17 years teaching
-Proficient in all styles including slap/taping
-See myself as a groove based player rooted in developing chops and strong melodic sense
-Primary influences include: Marcus Miller, Roscoe Beck, Michael Manring, Stu Hamm, Rocco Prestia
-Teaching style: Ascertain students' current ability level, begin with fundamentals such as posture and holding, incorporate scales with song tastes to maximize interest and split efforts into two categories: Jock work and Brain work
-Jock work: Technique, finger specific, slapping, tapping, chords, etc.
-Brain work: scales into modes into walking into improvisation, etc.
Current playing in
- The Perry Mills Project, Michael Gregory Band, Uncle Harlan's Band
