Are you playing the same solo over and over again? Are your solos life less? Do you get the right chords and voicings when you learn a song? Do you know what key you are playing? Do you recognize that a lot of songs change key (a simplistic example: Jimi Hendrix's Little Wing)? It's not about playing jazz ( I am a rocker with a lot of household name rockstar credits). It's about playing guitar. These are some of my qualifications: 1. I Began taking formal guitar lessons when I was 8 years old 2. By sixth grade, I had a trio that played four gigs and was paid for all of them. 3. As a senior in High School, I was playing underage in bars for money. 4. I went to four years of traditional music school at Syracuse University and was the referral guitar instructor for non-music majors. 5. I did the "special studies program" at Berklee College of Music. 6. I studied with several famous jazz and a well-known classical guitarists. 7. I have greater than forty live and recording credits with household name gold & platinum ward winning stars as a guitarist and frequently musical director. I also have a few more notable credits with Grand Ole Opry Stars. 8. I broke into major league music as a guitarist by first becoming an agent. I worked at two major New York City talent agencies (I booked many famous musical acts and famous comics-- for example: Jay Leno and Jerry Seinfeld). This led me to having gigs and sessions with household name rock stars as a guitarist and frequently the musical director. 9. When I was 38, I stopped playing music and went to a top law school. 10. After being an entertainment attorney for slightly over a year I was invited and paid to travel to Syracuse University from my home in NYC to teach entertainment law. 11. Since then I have taught music business and law courses at several Universities and few smaller colleges. 12. I was the Faculty Chairperson of the Music Business Program at SAE Institute in Nashville (they have 82 schools worldwide). I redesigned most of the courses in their music business program. 13. A few years back (before I moved to Nashville) I was asked to come out of retirement to play with The Hollies who had several Top Ten records in the late 1960s and early 1970s. I repeatedly said no. Even when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in. LOL ( modified line from The Godfather III). 14. As a result, I stopped working as a full-time attorney and went back to being a full-time musician. I then relocated to Nashville where I worked as a full-time guitarist without playing much country (even the Grand Ole Opry stars I played with were not singing country). 15. I have played live in almost every major venue in the U.S. and Canada from Madison Square Garden to the Hollywood Bowl. 16. I have a good calendar as a guitarist doing live dates, sessions, teaching. . . 17. I have been written about in Billboard, Rolling Stone, The Village Voice. . . 18. I am on television every night (cable) in some of those Time Life Video infomercials. I have also been on Entertainment Tonight, Nashville Star, The USA Network, and PBS. Not mention a plethora of local shows in various regions. 19. In my years as a musician, I never needed or had a day job. 20. I am proud to be able to help other musicians develop their craft for an affordable fee.
