Lesson Details

I've had students of all ages, interests and skill levels - from absolute beginners taking up music for the first time to 40 year guitar veterans interested in reading music for their instrument, from acoustic folk players to teenagers looking to learn punk rock tunes to scare their parents with.

My approach is to always incorporate theory and ear training into my lessons. These skills will help the student learn songs on their own and are very useful for prospective songwriters of all ... styles. When working with absolute beginners, the focus will be on rudimentary techniques such as left hand/right hand coordination, strumming patterns, simple chord progressions, posture and the basic anatomy and ergonomics of the instrument.

I do not teach advanced soloing styles such as "shred" or bebop.

I understand that some students may not have time to practice more than 10-30 minutes a day and may have other priorities, so while I do give "homework" assignments, I allow my students to set their own pace. Basically, any effort you put in, that's what you'll get out, and I'll be right there with you the whole way.
