read moreI began learning guitar at the age of 12, playing a nylon-string Goya classical guitar. I taught myself first position chords and barre chords, and learned all my favorite popular songs. Just five years later, I was playing guitar professionally, performing as a singer/songwriter on steel-string acoustic in clubs in Chicago. Soon after, I founded a rock band in San Francisco, where I played lead guitar and sang. For seven years, we regularly played clubs and concerts in the Bay Area. During my time in San Francisco, I attended music school at San Francisco State University and City College of San Francisco, studying music theory, music history, harmony, composition and electronic music.
