Hey there, my name is Johnny and thank you for visiting my page! From a young age, I was always steeped in music from my parents.

When I was growing up, one of my favorite memories is listening to my grandfather play bluegrass on his guitar and banjo. He gave me my first guitar at age 12 and started to show me chords and patterns to play. But it was when I first heard led Zepplin's black dog opening riff that I knew I wanted to rock. I then started teaching myself by ear with an old record player and my guitar. Read More
