Greetings all and one. I'm glad you're here visiting Tom Guard Music. I've been performing, recording and teaching music for over thirty years and offer all of those things for hire. I have a lot of experience in making videos and produce their music. Now, my main focus is on making music for video creators other than myself. The field is known as "Sync music for film and video." If you ever have the need for someone to make a video for you and/or create its music, please consider me. I will be sharing an ever increasing library of samples weekly. Let's all keep democracy alive. See you in a trance. Enjoy!

Lessons/Performance

Guitar, banjo, harmonica, bass and voice lessons. My studio is just west of I-95 in North Attleboro, Massachusetts. Lessons are available between 9.AM. and 8P.M. every day of the week. All ages from six up are accepted but, like students of any age, some self willingness, motivation and interest is expected. The cost for a half hour lesson is $25 and an hour for $40.

I perform live in various capacities. In my area I play solo acoustic sets at restaurant/bars, farmer's markets, benefits and private parties. I play guitar and harmonica and have an acoustic set of folk songs and rock standards from the 1950s to the present.

Video production

I call it film because I earned a B.F.A in film from The San Francisco Art Institute in 1983. Video has since become the standard but I still, like many, refer to it as film. I teach and perform music for the most part and create films on a freelance basis. I've documented the building of a cliffside home in the Santa Cruz mountains, produced an educational film for young people called, Ah Choo, Stop the Flu and a song video about bullying called, Big Bad Bully. more

The Kingston Trio

Just in case you were still wondering, I am in fact the son of The Kingston Trio's Dave Guard. I was born at the peak of his landmark career in 1960. Dad left the band in 1961 and went on to do several interesting projects as a session player and writer of legends for young older children as well as adults. more
