Similar Artists I would like to say Albert Lee but that would be an extreme case of delusions of grandeur on my part.

Artist History Self-taught guitar - I've played lead telecaster and acoustic guitar in various country & pop/rock bands. I am also a guitar teacher in the "play by ear" method. I've performed acoustic gigs as a solo artist (vocals/guitar) but prefer to play rather than sing.
