Patrick O’Brien was a much-beloved teacher and performer. An accomplished musician, he played lute, theorbo and guitar, and to some degree, most plucked-string instruments. But he was most revered as a teacher. Inspiring and generous to a fault, he helped many players afflicted by musicians’ injuries and repetitive stress disorders. The videos of Pat's teaching that are collected on the LSA's RUclips channel were recorded by Pat in the early 1990's as part of his rehab work. They were not originally intended for public viewing, but now provide a rare window into his wisdom and insights.
