Hi, my name is Pete, my performing name is DT Jacobs. I've been playing guitar since I was 15 years old but never learned any significant amount of music theory. I'm hoping to improve on that with these courses and I like Michael's teaching style. I'm an Americana style singer/songwriter from Boston, Massachusetts who chose what I thought was a safer career path in life by working a regular job instead of chasing the dream of a music career. I lost nearly everything when the economy crashed in 2008. I'm kind of a "3 chords and the truth" type of songwriter. I released my first album, "Blue Collar Tested" in 2021 at the age of 51. I currently work full-time as a commercial truck driver while simultaneously trying to pursue a music career.
