Rob Michael
Overview
Solo finger-style guitarist for all performance occasions. Jazz, classical, Latin, pop and folk styles are areas of my specialty. Sound combines Pat Metheny, with Chet Atkins. "An air of sophistication, class and humor combined with world-class virtuosity is what Rob brings to any event."

May 29, 2026Perfect music for our wedding
We had a small family wedding in Yosemite. The weather was less than ideal, but Rob came through on all we asked, he showed up early and played the entire time and set an amazing vibe. Would totally recommend to anyone looking for a great guitarist. Super friendly and easy to communicate with as well.

May 7, 2024First rate guitarist!
Rob was everything and more that one would hope for when hiring a professional musician for an event. A very friendly, good natured person with the music talent to match. You can rely on him to show up as planned. I would highly recommend him for your event.

About
I'm fortunate to have the privilege of “Living the Dream” of a pro muso: Playing gigs, recording albums, making videos, teaching--I love it.
Teaching music is something I've long been passionate about. I see 40-60 private students while living in the San Francisco Bay area for 40 years. I also give Lessons Online. and over the past couple of decades or so has given approximately 54,000 private music lessons!
You'll find me playing live and in-studio concerts on Youtube, iTunes or Google Play.
See you on 'The Other Side' and oh, if you've read this far, you might as well drop me a "Howdy!"
Additional booking notes
I'm self-contained requiring little more than some AC power and a chair. Can interface with an onsite PA or provide a larger PA/ sound system if needed.
