Teague from tripfuse has taught guitar for years and is the founder of musiclearning.com. He has started this site to share some of the tripfuse ideas and hopefully teach you a few new things about the instrument. To hear the song that these lessons belong to visit:
Teague started playing saxophone and piano at 13 and began guitar a year later. After HS he went on to study guitar at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Humber College in Toronto and Cleveland State University under the direction of Bob Fraser. While at CSU he was awarded a scholarship to play cello and was fortunate to study with Brian Dumm from the Cleveland Orchestra. In between years of study Teague toured with Metallica tribute band Battery (opened for Metallica for 5 nights in 98) and started musiclearning.com. Teague has also been playing with Moonlight Drive for years and they just celebrated their 25th year anniversary at Cleveland's House of Blues in March.
