Larry Behm is your man.
You can do a search and find him on this forum and then send him a message. He also has an ad on Craigslist if you want more information. Or at least, he did a few days ago... |

Tucker and Lynn thanks for the referral to Cameron, I will do my best not to let you down.
Cameron call me, you can be the 51st person I have sat with in the last 37 years. Starting with my friend Mark Simpson many young players have crossed my path and with them I share the techniques taught to me by Buddy and Jeff and Jimmy and Paul and Herby and Jay Dee etc. But the hard work is up to you. All players in this area are more than willing to sit with you, just ask them.

| I agree with the rest of the gang, there are a number of fine pickers in the area that will gladly do what they can for you but Larry B. is gonna be your man, he knows his stuff and will give you a great foundation for developing your own voice on the instrument. |
