Instructors
John "Dr. Hot Licks" Taylor - Guitar and Bass Teacher: I have a serious passion for music. Music is my life, and I want to share that with everyone I can. My musical background is primarily in rock and metal, with additional influences from such genres as jazz, blues, soundscapes, trip-hop, etc.
I started teaching my first student back in 2001. Throughout my musical career I have played live, recorded commercial music, recorded with bands I've been in and still am a part of, recorded my own solo work, and of course, taught several students
On 2/11/11 the Universal Record Database recognized me as the
Fastest Guitar Player in the world for playing Flight of the Bumblebee at 420 BPM. On 5/4/11 URDB accepted my latest attempt at 600 BPM for the current record
Adam Knowles (Student Guitar Teacher): I have been taking guitar lessons from John Taylor for a while now. Ever since I have started lessons with him I have grown as a guitarist ten fold more than any of my other teachers, and I have had a lot of guitar teachers.
Music is my life as well as guitar. I have been playing guitar for over 7 years now. I started when I was about 13 years old.
I feel confident to teach beginners who want to move up in skill. I will be able to teach you about anything you want, and if I don't know it I will have John Taylor on my side to make sure you learn anything you wish to on the guitar.
Brent Boutte' - Drum Teacher: Growing up in a household with drums gave me an advantage. My Dad had a drum set ever since I was born so I played them whenever I could. Finally, after 8th Grade, I received my first drum kit from my Dad. Ever since then it has been full force!!
Shortly after that I became a drum tech for a local band called Cymetre for three years. I learned a great amount about drumming, stage handling, performance, etc.
Music is my life and always will be. Currently I'm playing in two bands, performing live, and have recorded an EP. I love to teach people new things; anything from drumming from the heart to crushing double bass and blasts.
