Duane's Picks & Strums

    I have designed this website in order  to share my 50 years of musical experience with others who have the love of music in common with me.
    I have been teaching privately at music stores and both classes and private lessons at the university level for over 20 years. 
    I have had the opportunity to study privately or in classes, workshops and seminars with many of the greatest guitarist in the world, Christopher Parkening, Joe Pass, Ted Green, Steven King, Barney Kessel, Oscar Ghilia and Johnny Smith, just to name a few. My formal training has been in classical guitar on undergraduate level and jazz performance on graduate level. I have played in rock, country, bluegrass bands since the 1960's.
    It is my hope that others can benefit from my knowledge and years of experience. On this site I have included theory, chord charts, scale charts and hundreds of songs in different formats for both banjo and guitar.
