Guitar with Catherine C.

BMI affiliated teacher/composer. I teach private lessons (all ages/levels- from rock to blues to folk and everything in between) in person and remotely. If you're in the Boston area, the location is my Brighton Studio. For remote students, online (through Skype). My teaching method is a combo of doing things that you want to do (i.e. fun stuff) and giving you the tools to help you do it. I also ENCOURAGE creativity, writing songs, etc. From beginners to advanced - I tailor lessons specifically to each individual. You'll learn the neck, notes on the guitar, how to read tabs, music, songs, alternate tunings, chords, the art of soloing and much more. Career highlights: Experienced, established guitarist/artist/composer with extensive performance (including several international European tours) and studio experience with a focus on writing instrumental music and film scores, as well as producing thematic multi media concerts. Musical style combines elements of majestic psychedelia, hard rock, surf music, Middle Eastern music, and Parisian swing.Featured artist in international and national music/guitar magazines (Guitar World, Curve Magazine), music books (She-Bop: The Definitive History of Women in Rock, Pop and Soul by Lucy O’Brien), and music blogs (Trainwreck’d Society). -Selected by Brian May of Queen as the winner of the "Red Special" guitar contest in 1993 sponsored by Hollywood Records and Tower Records -First ballot Grammy nominee for Best Rock Instrumental Performance (2009) -Compositions included on several cable TV shows, including the History Channel's hit program, American Pickers
