I grew up in Detroit but now live in Nederland, Colorado high in mountains about 20 miles west of Boulder. I've been playing electric and acoustic guitar since about 1964.
I quit working in bands around 1985 and started playing solo gigs and doing session work on acoustic, electric and resonator guitar. I've been playing the autoharp pretty seriously since high school. I also play some mandola and lap steel.
My electric style is rooted in the blues and R&B I grew up listening in Detroit. BB King, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Buddy Guy, Albert King, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Steve Cropper, Ry Cooder and Jimi Hendrix are among my favorite guitarists.
My acoustic style is quite different from my electric style. I use open tunings a lot and although I have my own style, I love the acoustic guitar work of Jimmy Page, Joni Mitchell, John Renbourn, Burt Jansch and also the great blues artists like Son House and Robert Johnson.

Great acoustic guitar playing! I'm listening to Ancient Ancestors right now - sounds like an open tuning? Great song!!
That one's in DADGAD. I play a lot in open D and open G but only have a few tunes in DADGAD. Thanks!
