My teaching approach :

I have been playing for almost 25 years and teaching for the last 8. My overall approach is to make sure playing music is enjoyable for the student. Playing music should be fun, and when it stops being fun it becomes work. My goal as a teacher is to enable my students to teach themselves. I also teach piano, mandolin, banjo, and ukulele.

A guitar lesson with me might entail the following

Lessons usually begin with a review of the previous lesson. Assuming the student has practiced the assigned material, the new lesson is then begun. If there is time remaining after the new lesson, we spend the rest of the lesson just jamming.

Your first guitar lesson with me might include the following

The first lesson is usually devoted to making sure a student knows how to tune the instrument, and then assessing the student's chord vocabulary.

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

The ideal student is simply one who is willing to put in the time to practice.

Guitar lessons typically take place on these days and hours:

I teach 7 days a week, 10 am to 8 pm.

My influences are:

Frank Zappa, Steve Vai, Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix, Joe Satriani, James Hetfield, Billy Sheehan, Cliff Burton, John Linnell, John Flansburgh, to name a few. My number one influence, however, was my guitar teacher, Joey Faust.

My cancellation/booking policy :
