John H-

I have been playing guitar since the age of six when I first saw KISS on TV. I knew then that I wanted to play guitar. I have been playing ever since. I started teaching guitar, bass and the mandolin in 1996. I have played in clubs, done session work in numerous recording studios and have done soundtracks for documentaries. I have been the lead guitar player in numerous bands in Florida. With more than 10 years of guitar experience including a stint as the lead guitarist of a progressive metal band, playing the guitar is a passion of mine and I love to share it with others. I instruct students in many musical styles and artists including Roy Orbison's "Pretty Woman" and Black Sabbath's "Paranoid." There are kids out there who really enjoy older stuff like Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath or Iron Maiden as much as the newer songs. Learning is new for children so I instruct them in "baby steps."
