Tal Morris
Back in 1980, Tal Morris was a young guitar student at Blue Bear making his way by bus with his Fender Strat to work on his chops and try to understand that weird fretboard. Years later, Tal has made his mark in the big leagues with bands as varied as Creedence Clearwater Revisited, The Sons of Champlin, Huey Lewis and the News, Ronnie Montrose, Mostly Dylan and recently Jeff Watson and Lone Ranger. When Tal plays, ears perk up, heads turn, hearts are moved. Huey Lewis describes Tal as "the quintessential Bay Area guitar prodigy."
We are fortunate that Tal has returned to Blue Bear as a teacher. After many years of dedicated study, not only at Blue Bear, but with the likes of Scott Henderson, Robben Ford, Charlie Hayden, Joe Diorio, Steve Kimock, plus years of playing in bands and with artists ranging from the Ronnie Montrose Band to African virtuoso Shaka Ra Mutela and World Pop, Tal's playing and his understanding of music have indeed become world class. He's developed a loyal following of students who are inspired by his playing prowess and empowered by his teaching.
Student Mitchell Stevko has this to say about Tal's seminar The Mighty Magic Triad: "Tal has been able to take what were previously complicated explanations of guitar theory and make them easy to understand and practice. I think the program he designed for learning 'triads' to play chord voicings anywhere on the fretboard is the best I've ever seen. He is a truly gifted guitarist and teacher."
Tal Morris is a superb musician with a passion for teaching, someone who brings a bit of the buzz of the Rock & Roll world into your lesson while helping you along from wherever you are to whatever level you might want to take it. Someone who remembers that he once sat right where you're sitting.
