Classically Trained, Real-World Experienced Guitarist - Patient and Laid Back
About Me
Lesson Details
I tailor the lesson to the student and their goals. With guitar or theory/songwriting, each person has an 'ideal' they are striving for (rock guitarist ala Jimmy Page, Acoustic folk ala Bob Dylan, songwriter like Paul Simon, or classical guitarist like Andres Segovia). I work with them to reach their ideal in a laid back, friendly manner.
I might teach out of a book or make our own book as we go along depending on the student, their experience level, and their goals. Each lesson will stress the important music fundamentals and making things easier.
Playing and understanding music is easy. The image that it is only for the gifted and super talented is a lie.
Thomas has been a San Francisco private music instructor for TakeLessons since 2010. Thomas is a certified local music teacher.
