Hello from Virginia

My name is Billy Ray McClelland. As a musician I am an accomplished guitarist and have been studying guitar for many years now. I have finished three Certificates at Berklee Online and currently working on my fourth certificate; my third Master Certificate at Berklee Online. My completed certificates include Master Certificate in Guitar, Music Business and Technology, and a Specialist Certificate in Songwriting.

I am a veteran(Iraq War), married to a Captain in the Army and we have two wonderful children. My wife is the most important reason I can be here and study so much! It has been a life-long dream of mine to study at Berklee in Boston but she knew I would be happy with at least online studies! Music has always been and will always be my “life” within my life.

I stumbled across this site again after 7 years. I had created the free account back in 2006. I just upgraded to Full Access Subscriber. I come back here because I enjoy learning everything and anything. I am very happy that I reconnected to the site. I can't wait to dig into the lessons and start learning tunes again (the right way)! Good to be here!!

Hey Billy Ray, you sound driven. Good to have you back, we've got a bunch of new songs coming your way!
