Earl Jo.-

Earl Jo. has spent a lifetime as a real live guitar hero. As a hired gun (professional guitarist) he has played TV, radio, recording sessions, concerts, churches, festivals, clubs, and private parties for movie celebrities. He has also played every style (rock-country-jazz-blues-bluegrass-classical-gospel, etc) and every technique imaginable (fingerstyle-Chet Atkins-Travis-Fast flatpicking-chord solo-octave style-sweep picking-string tapping-counterpoint-Carter style-cross picking-chicken picking, etc). But, his real legacy lies in thestudents he has taught and the careers he has crafted, creating several generations of real guitar heroes, not the ones who sit at home and play but those who actually perform and make money. Chances are, without even knowing it, you have heard and seen his students who have appeared on everything from MTV to the Grand Ole Opry. With an uncanny ability to coach and draw out hidden abilities, Earl can guide a guitar player into secret places of playing with subtle psychological techniques,/p>
