WHO IS DAVID WOLFF?
David has been finger picking since the age of 15. That was when he heard his first Hot Tuna album and decided he had to learn how to make music himself. It was the music and style of playing of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame artist Jorma Kaukonen of Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna, that snagged his soul.

Teaching at Fur Peace Ranch
2023 Dates to be announced soon
fingerpicking for all levels
David teaches Jorma Kaukonen's great songs as well as many others such as: Jerry Garcia and The Grateful Dead, Reverend Gary Davis, Blind Blake, The Beatles, Eric Johnson and more!
Before long you'll notice that you're acquiring new methods and techniques of flat picking and fingerpicking. Songs that seemed out of reach will become part of your everyday repertoire. You will reach a point in your musical journey where it will be simpler to demonstrate how you're playing rather than to explain it to others.
To put it another way, it will be: Easier Done Than Said!
“A huge thanks to David for being an amazing guitar instructor for us at Fur Peace Ranch. Our students have learned so much from him in person and as the creator and developer of BreakDownWay. It goes without saying that he’s worked hard as a guitar player and a guitar teacher. His combined skill, experience and love for all music and the guitar have made him a consummate professional. I would highly recommend David for any gig or as a teacher. ”
“I first met David Wolff at Jorma Kaukonen’s Fur Peace Ranch in 2002 when I was teaching there. David and I became fast friends. At that time, along with Jorma, he started BreakDownWay.com and he’s since become one of Jorma’s most trusted instructors.
David has a great way of putting his students at ease and giving them the confidence to take on learning some difficult techniques.
If you like the finger picking styles of Jorma with Hot Tuna and the Reverend Gary Davis then David is a tried and true source of building your foundation. Just ask some of his students!”
“David has blues in his veins and is a master guitarist and teacher. He breaks down songs and techniques in a way any guitarist can learn, from Jorma Kaukonen’s hairiest fingerpicking to, well, anything else, and his infectious love of the music makes working with him downright addictive. ...even after even a single session with him, you’ll be all-in for more.
David is the best guitar teacher I’ve ever worked with. He’s easygoing, and I never feel pressured or awkward, no matter how well I’m playing on any given day. His patient guidance puts me at ease, and I always feel comfortable working with him. David absolutely knows the music inside and out from his decades of playing, performing, and teaching. He’s able to break down songs and complicated techniques in a way any guitarist can follow. I’ve seen David work with everyone from beginners to seasoned pros, and he’s quickly able to raise all his students’ technique, musicality, and enjoyment. David is a fantastic teacher, and I’ve been inspired working with him — you will be too!”
