Peter Banfield has taught Guitar for Firey Bros. Music since1993. Besides teaching, Peter is probably best known around the area for his work with the former rock band, The Private Eyes. His resume also includes a couple of MTV appearances, a stint on the local show “Night Shift” with a pre-Hollywood Jeanne Tripplehorn, and a sale of four songs, co-written with Matt Harris, to the Walt Disney television series “Emerald Cove.”

Just recently in August of 2011, Peter competed against almost 500 other guitar players in an online guitar solo featured on "Not Again" by the heavy metal rock band, Staind. (Staind has had multiple chart topping singles and has sold over 15 million records worldwide.) Peter's solo vaulted to the top six in a fairly short time and was voted in the top three by Staind fans worldwide on their website. However, the latest good news is that Peter won First Place and took home the Grand Prize at the Fender Freakout Guitar Competition held Saturday, October 1st, 2011 at the Hard Rock Casino in Chicago. Peter walked away with the grand prize of a $10,000 music equipment shopping spree. Thanks goes to Peter's guitar student, Eric Munion, who entered Peter in the Staind and the Fender contests. Congratulations Peter, we always knew you could do it.
