Teaching guitar is something I’ve done since 1986. I’ve learned from so many masters-how to play as well as teach! Even from my students themselves I learn what they look for in an instructor.

“My son has grown as a musician and as a person through knowing Paul. His lessons are relaxed and conversational in tone yet the quality of the instruction is exceptional. We know other students who worked with Paul who are now musical leaders among their peers. I cannot have higher praise for Paul and I am so glad we found this teacher.” 

“I began my lessons with Paul as a beginner, and he taught me to play beyond my own expectations. He always knows just the right song to work on next to develop new skills. Each song builds on the other. And “lessons” with Paul became my favorite playing time of the week. I have recommended Paul as an instructor to many.”

Now you have every option to learn guitar and other instruments from Paul. Care2Rock is an organization which is strictly online. Where ever you live his lessons can now be easily accomplished across physical borders. Since the Covid pandemic the world more than ever is better facilitated to conduct online classes-and ready to receive some joy that comes from playing music!

By a rather unsuspected series of events the first 2 Renegade records have been reissued by Heaven & Hell Records. This is a BLAST from the past and and has been great to see these recordings see the light of day. “The Beginning” released Oct. 1986 and “Social Pressure” released Feb. 1989. Paul screams on these releases and is a whole other chapter to Paul’s recorded works.
