Chad Martin, Professor De La Six-String

I have the privilege of traveling 2/3 of the year with my boys in Spur. It is a blessing to be able to live my dream with the support of my wife, family, and friends. We spend a great amount of time on the road during the fall and spring, and it is usually during the weekends or latter part of each week. So…as my incredibly studious wife is working hard learning about the human body and how to fight infectious disease, I have found an outlet for me to work, invest, and make a little extra coinage during the week. This, my friends, is teaching young whipper-snappers how to play the ol’ six-string. Yes ma’am. By weekend, I am guitar player and by weekday, I am guitar teacher.

I never imagined myself as a teacher in ANY form. I thought once about giving some batting lessons (no F.O.D. Field jokes, please) but never got serious about it. Needless to say, I have found a second passion of mine that I am quickly becoming proud of. I get to teach what I love and invest time into young players. Of course, these guitar lessons are nothing short of God pouring out his copious blessing on my and Steph’s life. I thank Him every day for my students.

In the near future I will post pictures and stories of my rock star students! They are all so different, yet so much fun! Ten out of my twelve students are elementary students! How great is that!? Wish I would’ve started that early…

The best part about it is that all of my students call me Professor Martin. Yeah I’m kidding. But WOULD be sweet, right? Yeah…it would. Anyway, more stories to come. Have a good one.
