About Charles Valentine

I have been playing guitar for 25 plus years, and have been teaching guitar lessons for the past 15 plus years.  I received a bachelor of Fine Arts in Electronic Music/ Sound Engineering from SUNY Fredonia in 2001.  I have performed well over 1000 shows both solo and with various bands.  I have had the honor of sharing the stage with greats such as the Wailers, Umphreys McGee, and Bernie Worrell to name a few.  In 2016 I released a solo my own fingerstyle arrangements of Beatles songs.  I am comfortable teaching beginners as well as advanced students.  Check out my website tealwatermusic.com for more info on me.
