As he puts it, "It is the excitement of the style that originally drew me in years ago."

Knows How to Teach

There is a huge list of instructors here, but many if not most of them will skip merrily along leaving you in the dust at times. Not Eric. This gentleman knows how to teach, to explain in detail and knit his lessons together so they make sense and you can actually learn without trying to interpret what is said. Great teacher!

Great listener and educator!

One of the many things I love about Eric is his ability to come down to my level! He listens to where I want to go and he helps me get there! If you want to learn how to pick or just play more musically, Eric can help you get there! I have learned so much from Eric and cherish the time I get to spend with him either in personal classes or on his channel!

Bluegrass Guitar Playing/Pickin'

I found Eric's Bluegrass 101 series was very instructive! I have been strumming and singing for many years, but Eric has allowed me to start hearing the possibilities to start adding fullness to my sound as well as continuing my journey to soloing. I highly recommend Eric to help you further your musical journey!

What a player

So many excellent guitar players are unable to translate their skills to teaching. Eric is not one of those people. He's got such a friendly and approachable demeanor about him that makes you feel good about learning guitar. He's relatable even though he can play circles around most folks. Don't hesitate to check out any of his courses and dive in. Enjoy!
