Let me be the first to introduce myself: I'm Mel Williams, I've played guitar for over 30 years, and taught guitar for over 20 years, and now also ukulele, and bass guitar. I've played with and/or for some amazing musicians, like Grammy Award winning saxophonist Chad LB (who has played with Chris Botti, and Taylor Swift), and David Russell (Grammy Award winning classical guitarist) studied with Matt Slotkin DMA from Eastman, and Hugh Douglass (studied with Paul Bollenback), among others. I have played on stages big and small from solo, to orchestras, Big Band, and Small Jazz Combos, led a few of them myself, weddings, funerals, parties, Worship events, etc. Even with all that being said, this isn't about me, its about you. Ultimately, how I can help you Unleash Your Inner Guitar Hero, so for me to do that to the best of my ability I need you to do your part... Are you ready? If so, let's go!

I think I’m going to use Google Meet next time. I’m getting emails that people tried to join my Zoom calls, but I never saw their name when I was on. I think we will have better success with Google Meet.

Everyone has a different reason for joining this community… Maybe it was the courses, bonuses, live trainings, the chance to get 1:1 time with me, or the guest expert sessions coming soon… (This could be YOU) I will say this... what you will find to be FAR MORE VALUABLE than all of that combined is… THE COMMUNITY HERE!
