Michael Lee Firkins

Biography

A fingerstyle rocker with the taste and touch of Jeff Beck with shred chops to match, Michael Lee Firkins first broke onto the instrumental guitar scene in 1990 with his brilliant self-titled debut on Shrapnel Records. The album seamlessly blended rock with country, blues, and jazz flavors, resulting in Firkins being named that year's Best New Talent in Guitar for the Practicing Musician. He is currently preparing his new album, Since 1967, for a 2008 release.

I love the site — the G-Plus Songs are phenomenal. The ability to loop sections and slow them down, plus have a professional walk you through it and explain what's happening and suggest fingering is invaluable. This is the best guitar site on the web!

I've been using the tabs and lessons at GuitarInstructor.com since 2008. I love the diversity in styles and topics covered and really enjoy the new G-Plus song lessons!

I used to fight through poorly written, online guitar tabs only to set myself up for pain by wasting hours learning partially correct songs and riffs. With GuitarInstructor.com, I immediately knew I was getting exactly what I was looking for — high-quality content
