Byron has been a master of the instrument since 1971 when he graduated from the esteemed CAL ARTs with a degree in Classic Guitar Performance. He taught guitar classes at Hartnell & Monterey Peninsula Colleges for decades, and has literally taught thousands of students privately.  His concerts receive rave reviews and standing ovations.  But in his teachings, it's the care and concern he has for each that stands out.  Guitar News of England reported on his classes with "Phenominal response", Dr. Louis B. Soffer said of Byron's instruction, "Determined, articulate and skillful".  Byron's technique is of the Segovia school but in addition, he has an arsenal of strumming techniques not seen on a Classic Guitar.  Understanding the essence of perfecting passages technically and how to draw the most from interpretive techniques are all passed to the students.
