Welcome to the Fretted Instruments School of Fingerpicking Folk Guitar and Banjo in New York City & Manhattan, NY
I have been giving Guitar and Banjo lessons to people at all levels; beginners, intermediate and advanced since 1970. I give music lessons on Bluegrass Banjo, Clawhammer Banjo and Acoustic Fingerstyle Folk Guitar in Manhattan, New York City. I've also published many articles on Acoustic Folk Guitar and Bluegrass Banjo. In addition to teaching different styles of Guitar and Banjo, I also teach Music Theory, Improvisation and Composition.
