James says “I was raised on classical music from an early age, my mother sang opera and I started playing guitar at 12 years old. My first professional experience playing live was playing with Eric Clapton's drummer Jamie Oldecker at age 15 in a small club in Tulsa Oklahoma .James started playing guitar at age 12 after hearing Jimi Hendrix Electric Lady Land and never wanted to do anything else.

He can play pretty much any song and any style of music. He taught me advanced techniques and helped me develop my style of playing. From tasteful blues licks to shredding with 2-handed legato techniques, James has an amazing set of skills he is able to teach and demonstrate. In addition to this, he also introduced me to new and obscure genres and artists that the average listener would likely never come across in their own time.
Overall if you are looking to push yourself outside of your boundaries and become an expert at guitar, James can give you whatever tools you need to put you on that path. I would highly recommend.He teaches you how to learn
James worked with both of my sons teaching them guitar. He is excellent with kids and they both learned a lot under his instruction. I would highly recommend James if you are consider lessons for yourself or for a son or daughter.
James is a good teacher. He teaches you HOW to learn.
