I have been playing guitar since my Dad taught me a few chords when I was in first grade.  I mostly play to an audience of my family room walls...ha...but I do love it.  I have many heroes in the guitar world...Tommy Emmanuel, John Standefer, John Knowles, Jerry Reed, Buster B Jones, Thom Bresch, Todd Hallawell, Pat Kirtley, Mark Casstevens, Brooks Robertson, ha...this could go on a long time!  I attend the Chet Atkins conference every year in Nashville where I hear and play with so many great guitar players.  It is the highlight of my year every time even after 20 years.  I have written some original tunes and I love to arrange a tune now and then.  I am working on a short video series on learning Fingerstyle alternating thumb guitar.  I hope to get that post d in a few weeks.  It will help a beginning player get from step one to step two clearly.  I am anxious to see it tried out.
