Private Acoustic Guitar tutoring lessons Martinez, CA.

I have been teaching acoustic guitar part time since 1972 and full time since 1998. From beginning level to advanced, I teach virtually all styles of music using flat picking and finger picking methods.

I enjoy teaching people what they want to learn. If they have specific interests, I will show them how to get the results they want. If a general musical education is desired, I will make suggestions as to what would be good for them. With over 35 years of teaching experience, I have found many different ways to communicate how and why the whole thing works on different levels.

Wanna learn how to rock the acoustic? Look no further because I can help you get you playing anything from pop to blues to classical and beyond.

Learning an instrument is not just about theory and discipline--- its about the joy of expanding and sharing one’s world with other people.
This 30-year veteran teacher, performer and recording artist can get you started as a beginner, or bring you to the next level as an intermediate or advanced player.

The guitar is an amazingly verstile instrument, with it’s capacity to produce melody, harmony and percussion, all at the same time. As my student, you’ll be taught to maximize the power of this ever ancient/ever new instrument by learning: Rhythm (strumming and finger picking) Melody (playing the “tune” of your favorite songs); Harmony (the chords and multi-note patterns that build off the melodic leads.)
A good player is more than a mechanic who knows positions and technique: A good player knows MUSIC, the theory and patterns that shape the actions of their hands.

Rock n roll of all styles is my speciality.

I teach music from the perspective of a modern musician and a songwriter. I want to make sure you are relaxed and having fun, as well as learning everything you want to learn in these lessons! We will get you playing songs you enjoy, right from the start. The most important thing to me, is for my students to have fun during their lessons, because real learning comes from commitment, and commitment comes much easier when you enjoy what you do.

I like to provide the student with the ability and knowledge to play any song they like.
