Kenneth hiebert biography

 I've been playing guitar since about 1982 when I started to take lessons from Chet Breau, son of the late, great Lenny Breau.  Sadly , just a couple of months later we moved to a different town but immediately found another great teacher in the form of Mr. Ben Kehler in Winkler, Manitoba where I learned the classical style which utilizes the thumb and fingers of the right hand. 

In 1993-1994 I attended Professional Musicians' College in Winnipeg (studying with Greg Lowe) and studied composition, chord theory, and harmony.  I teach these same ideas and also show my students how to apply them.  Since then I've been in several bands playing either guitar or bass guitar but never really felt the desire to be a travelling musician (although I did spend some time playing bass with a band called Five Mile Mary in London, England.) 

Some of my influences are: 

• Electric guitar: Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits, Eric Johnson
• Fingerstyle guitar:  Don Ross, Tommy Emmanuel, Bruce Cockburn, Chet Atkins, Stephen Fearing
• Songwrit
