I'm at a point in my career where it’s time for payback, but in a good way. The journey of learning my craft began with listening to records cut from the backsides of cereal boxes and going to the Renfro Valley in Kentucky with my family to attend festivals. This circular path of learning from others - from weekly classes 35 years ago at a Huntsville, Alabama music shop, to music theory classes taught by my high school band director; the variety of courses from the rules of rhythm to Bel Canto opera at the University of Alabama as a Music Minor, and now with current private sessions with one of my mentors, David Walbert - has been crucial in my attempt to conquer the 6 and 12- string guitar. Today, I have an even more compelling urge to not only pass the torch of the collective knowledge gleaned from others, but to actually streamline some of these teachings by offering as many seminars, GillaCamp guitar workshops, and individual lessons as I can in order to hand over my encyclopedia of information.
