Then I got my first teaching guitar job for a music store in N.J. when I was 22 years old. Worked in many recording studio's in N.Y.C. I love to teach and record people one of the greatest hobbies in the world. MUSIC! I have extensive studio and live performance experience. I have a recording studio that I use to teach and record with here at my home.
