I am primarily a self-taught musician, in addition to being tutored by some excellent private music instructors along the way of my musical development. My musical education has been furthered by performing & recording with many great musicians over the years.
Overview:
I have been teaching Guitar for over 40 years - I am proficient at both Acoustic & Electric Guitar playing - I have performed and recorded with the Guitar professionally as both a solo artist and as the leader of and a sideman in several musical projects over the years - I have performed at both private & public events for over 40 years and continue to do so to this day - I specialize in the Americana, Blues, Country, Folk & Rock musical genres - I possess a keen sense of pitch and rhythm and have been blessed with excellent ear - I have a very strong Music Theory foundation, but, do not focus on "sight-reading", per se - I currently lead my own band, the "KBCE", performing an eclectic mix of Celtic, Folk & Americana music
