New Orleans Piano Lesson -- Boogie-Woogie & Blues

The New Orleans piano style: rolling left hand, triplet feel, second-line rhythm. I'll teach you Blueberry Hill and Ain't That a Shame. Creole cooking playlist included because you can't play this music hungry.

Slide Guitar (Bottleneck Glass + Steel)

One glass slide, one steel slide. The tools that turned Delta blues into electric Chicago blues. I'll show you open tuning, slide technique, and how to make a guitar cry. The blues isn't about being sad. It's about surviving.

Rock Guitar Riff Workshop -- The Foundations

I invented the rock guitar riff. I'll teach you the first ten. By the end of the session you'll play Johnny B. Goode, Roll Over Beethoven, and Rock and Roll Music. These are the DNA of every rock song that followed.

Fortepiano (Walter & Sohn Style Replica)

Replica of my Walter fortepiano -- the instrument I actually played, not a modern Steinway. Lighter action, clearer tone, closer to what I heard when I composed. Perfect for performing Mozart, Haydn, early Beethoven the way it was meant to sound.

Lyre (7-String, Tortoiseshell)

Handmade tortoiseshell lyre with gut strings. The same instrument I used to accompany 27,803 lines of epic poetry. Tuned to the Dorian mode. I'll teach you the basic scales if you ask.

Gibson ES-350T (Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar)

The guitar that played Johnny B. Goode. Semi-hollow body, warm tone, cuts through any band. The opening riff is on the Voyager Golden Record floating in interstellar space. This guitar model made it happen.

Cigar Box Guitar (Handmade, 3-String)

Built it myself. Cigar box body, broomstick neck, three strings. This is how I started. This is how rock started. You don't need a Gibson to make music. You need a box, a stick, and a beat.

Upright Piano (Honky-Tonk, Tuned to Party)

A beat-up upright that sounds like Saturday night in Louisiana. Not a concert instrument. A PARTY instrument. Great Balls of Fire was never played on a Steinway. It was played on a piano like this, with the sustain pedal stuck and the lid wide open.

Custom Guitar Building Workshop

I'll teach you to build a guitar from scratch. Cigar box, plywood, whatever you've got. Electronics, pickups, wiring. The rectangular guitar I played on stage? Built it in my garage. You can build yours in mine.

Piano & Vocal Arrangement Lesson

I arrange entire orchestras in my head, note by note. I can't see the sheet music -- I hear it. I'll teach you to arrange a song for voice and piano, then add horn lines, strings, backup vocals. Start simple. Build. Every arrangement is architecture.

Fender Stratocaster (White, Left-Handed Strung Right)

A right-handed Strat strung upside down for left-hand playing. The reversed string tension changes everything -- the tone, the bending, the harmonics. This is why I sounded different from everyone. It's not magic. It's physics and stubbornness.

Gospel Guitar Workshop -- Where Rock Was Born

I'll teach you the gospel guitar techniques that became rock and roll. Palm muting, string bending, distortion with feel. Church music with fire. Bring your guitar and your voice.
