P.J. Strickler

I am a experienced and compentent Music Instructor. My Instructor was referred by Barney Kessell, a Jazz Guitarist who won polls and palyed with many very well known Artists. He referred me to Duke Miller, who he stated was the teacher of The Teachers! He arranged guitar books of the early Beatles, Jerry Reed, and Johnny Cash. He transcribed Alive, Alive O by Jose Felicano note for note. I took college music classes at LACC while studing with Duke Miller. Dule Miller taught many well known Guitarists. I played with the Doc Steverson "Tonight Show" players in Concerts and recordings. I was one of two guitarists on an album called "Reach for a Rainbow" produced by an group in Phoenix Arizona at RCA Hollywood Studios in 1973. The album almost made the grammy nominations I was told by a drummer on it. I played private parties engagements for many years while booking other musicians. We played ALL types n' styles of music as the engagements were varied. I taught guitar & bass guitar during the week and played private functions on the weekends for two decades. Occasionally I would play with large ensemble or Orchestra and/or do a recording also. I sing althought that is not what I teach. I am still in contact with students I taught long ago!
