Guitar - General/Expert Profile
Expertise
Guitar player since 1987. Studied at Musicians` Institute. Worked as guitar/music teacher since 1991.
Experience in the area
Since joining AllExperts I have been getting rated with 9's and 10's from most of the people I've answered questions from, so I guess that I must be doing something right. Not all that many people can be wrong. Questions about theory, technique, equipment, players, history, etc. welcome - just about anything in fact. The only things I prefer not to answer are requests for transcriptions, or equipment assessments/valuations.
