About the Author

Buck Brown knows that guitar playing is the "real job" his mom always told him to get. In the past 35 years, he has been fortunate to play with such great artists as Nils Lofgren, Tony Trischka, Stacy Phillips, Dave Hamburger, Robert Lee Castleman, Mark Egan and all of the incredible teachers at the National Guitar Workshop (where he taught from 1984 to 1991). Buck has written ten National Guitar Workshop publications (under the name Robert Brown) including Chord Connections, his master work on guitar harmony. As a composer, he has written music for innumerable episodes of America's Most Wanted, has won an Emmy Award in Cleveland, a Bronze Medal at the New York Film Festival and has been nominated twice for Helen Hayes Awards in Musical Theatre. When he is not on the road, Buck plays and teaches in Washington, D.C., is married to the fabulous chanteuse Rebecca Davis, lives with three dogs, bats right, throws right and plays loud.
