John’s earliest influences came from friends in the neighborhood. He began lessons with Bobby Hayes when his Sears guitar arrived. From that day on he knew he would be a lifelong student of music. John earned his BA in music from Eastern Michigan. The classical guitar and its music became his passion. He developed the discipline needed while studying under guitarist Nelson Amos, PhD. While John lived in Colorado with his wife, he played electric guitar in rock bands and caught the “bluegrass bug“. He purchased a bass guitar and joined a bluegrass band. He was then introduced to the mandolin.
John currently teaches at Blue Mountain Guitar. John is again studying classical as well as finger style guitar in general. Besides classical pieces, he is working on the jazz style of Tuck Andress, as well as country chicken picking. It is through the teaching process that he learned the most about this instrument.
