Hello, I'm a Scientist at Corning Inc with a BS in Electrical Engineering and an MS in Product Development. I was able to take guitar lessons from Mel for about 2 years and he was my favorite guitar teacher! I learned so much, even when I was rushing to get to my lesson after work many times and couldn't even bring my guitar with me :) I have 5 kids and lots of interests and commitments but my wife says she likes it when I play guitar because it's one of the few things I still do that is often just for fun and my kids say that some of their favorite memories are of me tucking them into bed and night, praying for them, then playing guitar while they fell asleep :)
