Randy ' s teaching style, fun,patient and engaging. No matter if your talking about music theory, or guitar technique . Randy always breaks things down, and explains them in a simple way, that is easy to understand and implement.

My approach to music is about fun.
Without technique music is an endless frustration. Too much technique and you can kill the music. This is why I focus on what a students musical interest is and then branch out from there. The better you are the more fun it is to play. Learning how to practice is the key to having more fun.
I have spent my life playing music in countless bands, projects, gigs and recording sessions. I believe a musician should be well rounded and work on. playing by ear, reading , time , theory and writing.
Electric Bass, Guitar, Vocals are my favored instruments.
I have a project studio here at the Guild and enjoy recording students and teaching them about electronic music production.
My degree is in Electric Bass Performance from the University of Miami Fl.
