I'm Thomas McRocklin. I've been playing guitar since I was 4 years old - and I've been lucky enough to learn from some of the greatest guitar players in the world.
I've performed with so many amazing musicians - Joe Satriani, Zakk Wylde, Steve Lukather, Larry Mitchell, Stu Hamm, and of course my friend and mentor - Steve Vai.
I started School of McRock as a place where I could share everything I’ve learned from years of playing with these legendary guitarists as well as my own insights and techniques.
