I received a Bachelor’s of Music with a concentration in Jazz Guitar Performance from Temple University in 2008. Although my focus was on Jazz, I also play and teach many other styles of music including Rock, Blues, Folk, Classical and Funk. Aside from teaching lessons and performing with various projects along the east coast, I also compose music for films and produce/record other musicians and bands.

Because of my background as a performer, composer, producer and educator, I feel that I have unique qualifications to give the student a well-rounded understanding of not just the guitar, but of music as a whole. By including a balanced mix of technique, performance, composition and theory, I hope to help students reach their full creative potential and to see music as not only a performance art, but as a mode of individual expression.

Drawing from my 20 years of experience tinkering in the guitar kitchen, I teach guitar and music theory to students of all ages and abilities in the Chicagoland area. I received my Bachelor of Music degree in 2004 from Ithaca College in Upstate New York, where I studied Jazz and Classical guitar in addition to music theory, history, and recording.
Since graduating I have gone on to perform extensively in New York and Chicago, primarily in a genre pioneered by guitarist Django Reinhardt and called "Gypsy Jazz". I have also filled roles as lead guitarist in musical theatre pit bands, scored original music for films (including the Emmy Award-Winning documentary "100,000"), and taught hundreds of lessons in private, group, and workshop formats.
I teach electric as well as acoustic guitar playing in many different styles (ranging from Classic Rock, Blues, Funk, and Alternative, to Folk, Classical/Spanish, and Jazz).

After graduating high school, the Visual and Performing Arts School of Music, I attended G.I.T. in Los Angeles. From then on I concentrated on playing live and teaching. I took a three year break from teaching when I traveled and played with a band stateside. After that I went back to college and received my Bachelor's Degree from Central Washington University. Still with a focus on playing live and teaching. Currently, I am playing locally and teaching students with great success. I love what I do.

Are you looking for a teacher that keeps you motivated and excited, who can teach you all the skills of a well rounded musician in a relaxed, friendly environment? Look no further.
I love music! I love playing music , I love composing music, I love studying music, but most of all, I love teaching music! It gives me the feeling of fulfillment like nothing else can.

Born and raised in Brooklyn NY, I started taking piano lessons and at age 11 and at age 14, I got my first guitar and started taking lessons. When I was 16 I started teaching my siblings and friends beginners guitar, while I myself was studying more advanced guitar. I later went to further my studies in music at San Diego Mesa College, where I studied Music theory, Classical Guitar, Piano, Composition and Ear training among other things.
Since moving back to NY I have been teaching, composing and performing music all around. I have taught students of all ages in group and private settings. And I'm currently in the...

I first picked up the guitar my junior year of high school, and 14 years later have since moved on to drums and bass guitar as well. I have mastered many different styles and played in several bands and continue to perform at local venues today. I have studied the works of a range of professional artists like John Petrucci of Dream Theater, Paul Gilbert and Thomas Lang on the drums to name a few. I have been teaching a wide range of students, both young and old with great results for over 7 years. Ive taught a 10 year old to play both guitar and drums all the way up to a 45 year old how to have better control on guitar. It is truly a great feeling for me to watch a 10 year old go from having no knowledge at all of drums or guitar, to a month later having solid control of both and all the confidence and enthusiasm in the world. Throughout my time learning and teaching music, I have learned through trial and error what ultimately works best and what doesn't. Ive used all the...

Hey hows it going ? My name is Greg but many call me simply "g" -- I have 30+ years playing guitar and 10+ years coaching & teaching beginner skill levels. If you are advance level , or close to advance, then you need to think about Musicians Institute level faculty to progress... as I do best with beginner skill levels. I focus on blues and rock content, because that's what I enjoy and that's what my band plays. Acoustic or electric guitar are fine, and when you come to my studio in Bixby Knolls section of Long Beach, you will see I offer plenty of room and great environment to relax and learn. If you do not have a guitar, I can provide for lessons. I also produce Guitar Lesson DVDs and jam-along CDs under the brand GuitarDVD Pro....and GuitarCD Pro...and these are available as effective optional tool to support the in-person lessons.

I have been a musician for over 20 years. I have a BA in Music & Sound Recording, and am equally comfortable in the studio as I am on the stage. I currently lead my own band which plays all original music and I have released two CDs of my own music, in addition to playing and recording with many local acts. I also write, record and produce music for TV and movies. Let's just say I wear a lot of hats.

I love music, and surround myself with it at all times. There are very few styles that I don't like or don't listen to, and I try to stay current as much as I can. I play a number of different instruments besides the ones I teach, including harmonica, piano, organ, drums and percussion. I also have been singing for as long as I can remember.

I believe anyone can be musical, even if you don't play an instrument. Music is everywhere, and we all tune into it, whether we know it or not. I hope that we can learn something about music and each other, then throw it all aside...

David discovered his love for music early on at the age of seven with the musical/movie: The Sound of Music. He and his siblings would entertain their babysitter by acting out the entire musical - singing and dancing along with the soundtrack. To make it even more fun, they would sometimes speed up the vinyl record and perform in extra-fast mode! (And that was way before 'Wii - Just Dance!')

He vividly remembers his first real musical instruction back in elementary school:
“Everyone in 4th Grade was given a Recorder to learn how to play 'Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star'. When the music teacher had the class play together, she noticed that I wasn't looking down at my music booklet as I played, since I was 'playing by ear'. Not only was my booklet turned to the wrong page; it was upside down as well! To admonish me, she had me stand up in front of the whole class and play solo - as she held the booklet in front of me. Enthusiastically, I rendered the complete song...

My musical history would have started probably officially at 7 with piano lessons, 8 at the ukulele, 11 on guitar, & these prepared me to take on the mandolin, banjo, fiddle bass & drums as an adult. I performed professionally in & recorded 2 albums with a progressive bluegrass band, 'The Nothin' Doin' Band' from the late '70s through the mid '80s, as well as regular gigs with country rock bands &...
