Welcome to my guitar teaching site. With a library of videos and private lesson exchanges, this website give us the opportunity to study together to keep your playing on track.  It is also a place to connect with other students and like minded folks throughout the world. Whether you decide to simply sign up to access the library and work on your own or choose to study directly with me, I offer you my music as a “toolbox” of ideas to further your playing and creativity…more info

“ Woody is a master player and teacher. A true gentleman. I’m so glad to have been able to study with him. His deep understanding of the music and how to teach has opened up ( finally) my playing in new and exciting ways.”  – Charlie, 2011 NYC

“Woody was extremely gracious and patient. He presents the material in such a clear and simple way. My adrenaline was pumping just knowing I was learning from someone who is not only a great player, but also a direct link to some of the first generation guys.” -R.F.

“Woody – I just wanted to thank you again. You inspired me to try again at the age of 59 after many previous failures, and so far it’s going really well. With gratitude.” -J.W.
