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.
