As for my experience, I have been playing guitar for 15 years, teaching for 5 years, and active in bands for 7 years. I was privileged to receive private guitar lessons myself for a decade. Also, I have a solid amount of experience with audio recording, mixing, and microphone techniques for amplifying instruments.

After college I continued to gig professionally, tour, and record and kept up a private studio where I taught upright bass, electric bass and guitar.
