My specialty is bluegrass, old-time, country and folk fiddling, but I can provide intermediate instruction for other genres and acoustic instruments. Together we will help you become a well-rounded, versatile and natural musician that is versed in the fundamentals of theory, ear training, timing, technique and taste; all in a friendly, relaxed environment. I also have a small studio setup with some nice mics and gear. For reasonable rates I can provide tasteful backing or solos for your songs.
