About the Actor

Peter started playing guitar in 2nd grade and very quickly realized his calling. He played in several bands through his years at Okemos High, and proceeded to study classical guitar in college at the University of Ga. under the tutelage of John Sutherland. After receiving his undergraduate degree in Classical Guitar Performance Peter continued with his studies on a assistantship at James Madison University. While there he taught classes as large as 110 people at both James Madison and Mary Baldwin College. Peter moved back to Georgia and began playing the club circuit in Atlanta as a soloist and with a multitude of bands. He also founded and managed several schools of guitar including the Guitar Learning Center. During this time Peter produced many products for Watch & Learn Inc. such as The Guitarist s Chord Book, The Guitarist s Scale Book, Intro to Blues, Intro to Rock, The Guitarist s Tablature Book, and the Let s Jam Series. In the 90 s Peter met Jan Smith and began to play with the Jan Smith Band performing on several of her CDs including nonstop Thrill, Surrender, and Resurrection. In 2001 Peter moved into Jan Smith Studios where he continues to teach and do session work with local and national talent. Peter has performed on stage with talents such as Michael Bolton, Cee-Lo, Kelly Price, Steve Vai, Earl Klugh, Sharon Isbon, and Sleepy Brown. In collaboration with the NARAS organization he is the band leader each year at the Heroes Award Dinner in Atlanta. Peter s disc, So Many Notes, So Little Time, a guitar instrumental record, is available from this site as a CD or a digital download. Peter is also working on a new acoustic record featuring his nylon string playing. Stay tuned as Peter plans on continuing his recording, teaching, and publishing careers into the foreseeable future.

This review is from: Introduction to Blues Guitar (DVD) (DVD)

Professional will learn nothing new, but for beginners this DVD is great ... if you have another book with a little bit more theory in addition. I was educated in the C-A-G-E-D layout of the fretboard when I started to practice using this DVD, and the knowledge of C-A-G-E-D helped to to understand what was really going on. You can get a lot out of this DVD even without the basic ideas of the fretboard, but with the logic in your head you can moce every pattern all over the neck ... and then it is fun.
