Expertise

I'm the BS-artist's dream. I'm self-taught, and my technical understanding of musical theory is limited. However in many cases if I hear it and my A.D.D. isn't in overdrive I can figure it out. I relate more to classic artists like Angus Young, Keith Richards & Tony Iommi, but have figured out some of the tricks of the trade used by more modern players as well. I know anything you'd ever want to know about Gibson SG's & Flying V's, and am one of the few cats you'll find here in South Carolina who doesn't worship all things "Skynyrd". Always willing to go out of my way to help budding young players, and most of my students have been disenfranchised youth and females...being kind of the aging punk-rock/hard-rock guru I've taken many folks under my wing who might not have otherwise had the confidence. It's a pleasure to see someone succeed with things I've passed on to them. So try me, I might be able to help! I'm NOT one who knows a ton about vintage guitar values, dating or specs unless it's a Gibson SG, so if you have questions regarding other models of guitars you might want to ask someone else.

Experience in the area

I've played bass, guitar, drums, lap steel & tinkered with several other instruments for over a decade. I've unfortunately not found my 'way' yet and remain a semi-pro, but have had enough experience to write a book.

Education/Credentials

School of Rock, baby!

Past/Present Clients

I currently provide rock guitar lessons to students ranging from 7 years of age to 24 years, and am the de facto gear tech for my band and some other musicians when they let their equipment go. Want a no-nonsense, everyman's answer to help you along? I'll do my best!

First off, I'm sorry to hear of the fire, and hope you didn't lose much as a result of it. I hope I never have to deal with that myself. Luckily tuners are fairly easy to obtain. Maybe not EXACT replacements

What a closet queen to pull out after all these years! :) Flatwounds, eh? Well, when it comes to flats, most people I know use the D'Addario Chromes nowadays, although there are other options, and my

Thanks for writing... Actually, I thought those particular "crescent" model Faded-series guitars were only made in 2002 and early 2003. Which is why if you find one in great condition, it can fetch

JD, Sounds like you've got an interesting bird there. You've come to the right place for SG information though... If you in fact did buy it in '63 the odds are much slimmer that it's a refinished

Jim, Thanks for writing! While my passion and true love is the mid-60's Gibson SG Standard, most of my friends and fans know my second-love is the Fender Telecaster. The SG is power, sex appeal and
