Phil Black

I have been a Christian for nearly 40 years and a guitar player for nearly 55 years. My wife and I have been married for 43 years. We have two married daughters and 6 grandkids. (I have pictures if you would like to see them!) Bands I’ve played with have had records released on Imperial Records/United Artists and Mercury Records. We opened concerts for Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Beach Boys and many others. Living in the Memphis area I was a session guitar player for many of the recording studios. Santorella Publications handles my line of instructional posters for guitar. I have also written two books for guitar. My books can be found at Barnes and Noble and Amazon. (Search “Keys and Chords” by Phil Black or, “96 Chords” by Phil Black.) I have written orchestral scores for musical theatre. Working with a script writer, we had two of our musicals produced… “Tom Sawyer” and “The Book of Esther”. I began teaching about 30 years ago. I have taught at several private schools in Memphis (MUS and ECS among others). I have been teaching at East Arkansas Community College for eleven years and at Circle Music Center for the last 9 years
