A Lifetime of Guitar music - Paul santa maria

I started playing the guitar at age 11 and still am going strong at age 65. The Beatles first appearance on the Ed Sullivan show (and very, very, very  specifically, my HERO -

Sir Paul McCartney!) did it for me and there was no turning back. Thank you for the gift of writing music, Paul!

I have been a professional guitarist since age 12, and am not stopping, constantly learning new material and doing arrangements of solo guitar works.

Trying to understand the complex nature of the guitar can be daunting. That's why I wrote my own clear, concise, no BS self-help book on music theory as applied to the guitar that has everything I know after 53 years of playing professionally.

I have never had a return nor a refund requested and have sold over 1200 copies of my beautiful book.

In addition to being an accomplished musician, music composer with 4 Daytime Emmy awards and a pretty decent photographer, I am a fine artist specializing in pencil art and Adobe Photoshop.

I have done extreme things with pencil including photo-realistic reproductions of the Mona Lisa, the Pieta and Moses by Michelangelo and some cool surrealistic art.
