A veteran of the music business for more than 30 years, “Mighty” Mike Schermer has toured and recorded with such legendary figures as Bonnie Raitt, Elvin Bishop, Marcia Ball, Charlie Musselwhite, Jimmy Rogers, Pinetop Perkins, Hubert Sumlin and so many more we’d be here all day dropping names if we didn’t want to tell you about his teaching skills! 

 

Mike truly understands, as both a teacher and a historian, that the blues are at the foundation of every genre of American music. Even if you don’t want to be a “blues guitar player”,  a solid understanding of the blues will simply make you a better guitar player…whether you are into rock, country, bluegrass, funk, R&B or jazz. Blues are the roots. Know your roots!

 

Mike is also a critically acclaimed songwriter who sings and fronts his own band all around Northern Nevada and California. His lessons and workshops are very much performance oriented, and focus on how to play well with other musicians and in front of live audiences. The man has played over 8000 gigs at clubs, concerts and festivals in all 50 US States and in 25 countries around the world. Whatever level you are at now, take it up to the next one and beyond with the sage advice and guidance of a seasoned pro!
