Many guitarists pick up a slide at some point. Fewer use it with confidence. And even fewer use it to actually say something.
But slide guitar is just one part of a bigger picture — the search for your own voice on the instrument.
Whether you're improvising, composing, or exploring new ways of playing, the goal is the same: to make music that feels personal, expressive, and alive.
That’s what I help guitarists do.
With decades of teaching experience and a background in both traditional and unconventional techniques, I guide players toward creative freedom — not just technical competence.
I break things down clearly, meet you where you are, and help you connect the dots.
You can check out some of my ideas and approaches on the One Finger Guitarist YouTube channel.
And when you’re ready to go deeper, my Zoom lessons and creative mentorship options are the next step.
Whether or not you play with a slide, I’m here to help you play with more freedom, imagination, and confidence.
