Let’s Take It On The Road!

Let’s Talk About Playing Guitar!

If you’re planning to host an event that’s all about playing guitar and need someone to give a fun, informative presentation to your attendees – look no further. I can do that.

I have lots of experience with sharing what I do in front of crowds and can explain and demonstrate many technique and theory topics, gearing each of my discussions to different target audiences, age levels and areas of interest.

Most recently I was a workshop presenter at the 2016 Canadian Guitar Festival, where I discussed how an understanding of basic music theory can lead to greater fretboard freedom. I’ve also been featured as part of a guitar seminar series held by Kingston’s Renaissance Music (now Long & McQuade), at which I discussed my concepts of “Mixed Modal Guitar Soloing”.
