Hi, I'm George Fletcher
I own Saratoga Strings Guitar & Bass Lesson Center located in historic Saratoga Springs, NY.
I have been playing guitar and bass for more than 38 years in venues large and small, recording studios and simply for pleasure in my home.
I love the Adirondack region and live and breathe music so I am thrilled to have established my home and business here.
I am also very happy to have my friends, Michael and James on board. So, if you think we have what you are looking for, contact any one of us and we'll do everything we can to help your dream of becoming a guitarist or bassist a reality!

The son of "Road Dog" musician, Robert Steiner, Michael was born on the road and lived in clubs and hotels until the age of 5 years-old.

He has worked regionally with Sirsy, The New York Players, Good For The Soul, Joy Adler, Soul Session, Mrozek from Q103, and The Ginger Brothers.
He tours the country as guitarist for tribute acts Doug Church (The Voice of Elvis), and Tom Sadge (Neil Diamond). He previously played guitar for Metal Legends (out of Louisville KY), and Toys in The Attic (Aerosmith Tribute as Joe Perry). He says, "Looking back I've lived a strange life!"
