Introduction
PERFORMER: Virtuoso Guitarist/Vocalist/DJ ; Not only can I sing and play a wide variety of popular music from virtually every and any genre imaginable,I am also an accomplished classical guitarist/finger style expert as well as a virtuoso level soloist that transforms basic "cover tunes" into something unique and special that takes the performance far beyond simply mimicking a pop song like a record.We have mp3 players for that!... You want a DJ? Piece of cake. Through my blue tooth capable pa system,I can play any song on Apple music/spotify. I can take special requests effortlessly and you could even send me a playlist to your liking and that is what I will play! SPECIAL OFFER!...Three 50+ minute Sets for $300!!!! Compare THAT price to my current competition.That's a 50% savings and I'm confident the quality is at least 50% better with me! As a DJ I am unique! Not only do I play your favorite songs to get the people dancing but I may even have my guitar in hand and play some tasty little rhythm along with the song or a blistering virtuoso guitar solo to spice things up and to make it feel like you actually have a band not just a guy playing songs on his phone! See my videos on YouTube! I have a small footprint compared to a 2,3 or 4 piece band. It's me, my small pa system and and 4 little foot pedals! With the use of my Boss RC-20 Loop station looper and my TC-Helcion vocal harmonizer, you'll forget all that sound is coming from just one person in real time with NO BACKING TRACKS! ask me to play any two songs and I'll make a personal audition video for you so you can see what I can do. Thank you for your time! GUITAR TEACHING/LESSONS: Most of my lessons are now on line, but anyone is welcome to come to me in Mundelein or I can come to you depending on your location. God blessed me with the ability to break down complex and abstract concepts that are easily comprehended by anyone old enough to read as long as they can pay attention! I have taught so many people who took lessons from other teachers, and almost every time without fail,I am amazed at how little the student learned from his previous teacher.I think I am the best teacher for anyone who is brand new to guitar/music or to anyone who wants to become smarter about theory,songwriting,improvisation etc. btw,I have a reverbnation page under Tom Margarites that features 50 original compositions written,performed and recorded by me. All instruments. It's a great feeling knowing that you can change and have changed someones life and teaching guitar gives me that opportunity every day! For reasons somewhat unclear to me,I have spent the lions share of my waking hours over the past 42 years,studying and honing my craft and understanding of music.I cannot think of a better way for me to utilize the fruits of my labour than spreading the joy that is music,either through teaching or through performance!
