It's not often you find a guitar teacher who is "cool" and knows the theory part of things like the back of your hand, but we found one in Edward White!

Ed not only knows how to rock out on his electric, but he also studied classical guitar, trombone and euphonium when he was in college.

He recently returned from a tour in Japan with his band, Kindred Fall. The band is currently in the process of completing their album.
When he's not busy teaching or playing music, Ed plays competetive Ultimate Frisbee on a team.
