My teaching approach :

Seriously fun guitar lessons! Experienced pro guitarist has toured full time, appeared on over 16 albums, runs a pro recording studio.Certified teacher. I teach kids, adults, beginners, professional musicians. Deep studies on simple blues, mastering bends, phrasing, slides, targeting chord tones and timing. Student may select songs to study . Ear training, tab, standard staff and chord diagrams are utilized. You'll like my naturally lit spacious clean lesson studio with tons of lounging space for parents.

A guitar lesson with me might entail the following

We make sure you are tuned, thinking about all the notes the neck, basic chords, review some licks, riffs or songs, answer any question you might have, then take a look at any song you might want to try. I make sure your wrists are not twisted, and that you are holding the pick correctly, making sure you are not picking up any bad habits!

Your first guitar lesson with me might include the following

Music is a happy thing and I love to share this gift. We get right down to business and tune up, then we learn the notes up the first string all the way to the 12th fret. Next we learn a bit about tablature. Next I teach "The Mystery Song", which is the worlds' most popular song, but don't tell the title. We might get around to a few more tunes, some easy chords, names of the strings. I assume you are a beginner, but each person is unique.

The qualities I look for in an ideal guitar student might include the following

One that practices, listens to music and communicates with me. A student that loves music and songs will get along great with me, otherwise I will teach them to love music and songs!

Guitar lessons typically take place on these days and hours:

Monday-Saturday. After school into the evening hours, some weekdays I start earlier.

My influences are:

SRV, Setzer, Hendrix, Ramones, country pickers, classical composers, Howling Wolf, The Beatles and Stones, anyone who work hard and tries.

Fee Schedule :

Pay for lessons one at a time. If you like what I do, cover me for lessons one month in advance on the first lesson of each month.

My cancellation/booking policy :

Email me and re-schedule. I hope this does not sound arrogant, but people just find a way to attend my lessons. I will work with you if something comes up. The key is communication and respect!

Which methods of payment are accepted?

Cash, Checks
