Jeffrey Pepper Rodgers is a busy musician, author, and teacher. The founding editor of Acoustic Guitar magazine, he’s also the author of The Complete Singer-Songwriter and the multimedia guides Beyond Strumming and Grateful Dead Classics for Acoustic Guitar, as well as a contributor to NPR’s All Things Considered.
