Funky Fingerstyle Guitar
Hey Gang!
I have been a little off the internet radar lately, and I must apologize for a lag in posts, emails, youtube videos and all that good stuff.
It has been a VERY busy time for me actually. I will quickly get you up to speed, and I promise to post & blog from the road over the next few months.
Here is the God’s honest transparent news update that I’d give you if you were drinking a coffee with me right now.

When I attended the High School for the Humanities in NYC I was in the graduating class of 1986.
At the time I was a 17 year old aspiring classical guitarist, practicing hard for my first year of college in the conservatory.
A few of my high school teachers were “guitar aficionados” and one in particular, “Mr. S”, encouraged me very much. I’ll never forget when he said “You’ll be the Pepe Romero of the year 2000!” This was incomprehensible to me.
I recently read an article by a buddy of mine named Rob Cubbon. He describes the state of mind & spirit he was in while creating a few of his e-books in his post “My Rules of Product Creation.”
While creating his first one, he was stressed and it felt like rolling a rock uphill. In contrast, the second one just “happened” by itself. Oddly – the second one which was infused with joy and ease is also preferred by his readers and sells better.
I’ve had the same thing happen when I record CDs under stress, so I know full well what he was describing.
I was starting to feel a similar process regarding the upcoming Guitar Instructional DVD which I plan to shoot later this summer.
