Thanks for checking back to see what is happening. It has been a busy year so far. Lot's of stuff going on. Exploring new business opportunities, etc...I want to say how much I appreciate all the emails asking what is happening with the new CD and the guitar lesson website! All has been put on hold for the past several months for various reasons. I am now looking forward to getting back to those projects. Stay tuned for some updates in December.

Welcome to my site. If this is your first time visiting, please click on the contact page link to register for email updates about upcoming concerts, clinics, and other news and important info. Thanks again for stopping by.The NEW CD is under way as we speak. I have changed musical directions since my last news update. I woke up one day the past November and I decided I wanted to head in a different musical direction. So I got together with keyboardist/producer Michael Whittaker and we started writing some great new material. We are co-producing the project together and are in the middle of completing the first 5 tracks. I hope to have some samples posted to my MySpace page in April or May of this year. Please check back often for updates about the new CD...
The BIG News, I will be launching an online video guitar lesson website. I have had so many requests to talk about my different styles of playing, I decided to dive into this in a major way. I will start shooting the video guitar lesson over the summer and I am hoping for a November/December 2008 launch. I will post more news as we get closer to the launch date. The website address is, LearnToPlayJazzGuitar.com We will cover most styles of guitar playing on the new site. Thanks to all who wouldn't give up and kept "hounding" me to do this. You are all the best!
Have a great week.

Thank you for visiting my web site! If this is your first time, please feel free to register on my contact page. By doing this, you will receive updated quarterly news emails and information about upcoming concerts and clinics. Thank you in advance for taking the time to register.To all those who have been sending me all the great emails over the past several months, Thank you! I want to update everyone who has been asking me what I have been up to lately. I have really enjoyed taking some time off to spend time with my family. After 12 years and 40 plus countries doing concerts and clinics, I wanted to hang around home with my wife Nancy and our girls for a bit. I also felt a great need to explore some new music as well... I am really excited about moving forward with many new projects over the next year!
I have been really blessed to connect with some outstanding musicians here in Nashville over the past year. You can read and listen to some of their great music from my Myspace page. (Yes, I really have one! :) ) Adam Nitti is an outstanding and innovative bass player and Michael Whittaker a keyboardist, producer and writer. When you go to his myspace page, listen to his Modern World project. The music from both of these guys is off the charts! We have played a few gigs and clinics over the past couple of months and it was a great time for sure. Thanks guys!
Now for some really exciting news. I am hitting the road again on a monthly basis over the next several months. I have signed on with Martin Guitars as a Product Specialist/Clinician. I look forward to doing some clinics towards the end of this year. Please check back for upcoming dates.
That's all for now...

Thanks for visiting my site.From my family to all of you, we want to wish everyone a healthy, happy, and blessed Holiday season. This is a time of year where we can get caught up in the consumer side of things. Try taking time to reflect on all that you have been blessed with. Family, friends, food, clothing, shelter, happiness... While you are at it, do something awesome for a stranger, friend, neighbor, or a person in need. You will be extremely blessed for doing so!
Regarding my new CD. I will be hitting the studio after the first of the year. I hope to have a late summer release. You can go to my myspace page and check out a few of the new songs. Thanks again for all your questions and interest in the new project...
FYI. Feels So Right is now available on I-tunes as well as a few other sites...
