One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Kicked sand in the face of Dan.

Teach, Learn, Share

I create fingerstyle arrangements by ear with very little music theory needed. If you’re interested in developing guitar or ukulele skills, I’m more than happy to instruct you for free, but you should
be serious about learning. 👨‍🎓
