What others are saying
“The finger-style guitar degree is truly relevant to and involved in an art form, not after that art form has peaked and/or seen its critical innovators die off, but rather in a time of vibrant evolution and with the exceptional involvement of both historic and emerging finger-style artists.”
—Billy McLaughlin, performing and recording artist
“As an educator and historian John brings to this program an unparalleled body of knowledge, resources and experience unavailable anywhere else in the world.”
—Ben Kammin, graduate student
