Blues guitar was my first true electric guitar obsession. It continues to be a huge part of my playing today. Having a strong blues foundation is something that any serious guitar player should have. Just about every music genre we hear today can be traced back to blues roots. I teach anything and everything about blues guitar playing. The blues method and approach I use gets musicians at any level seeing significant results in a short amount of time.

Learn to play the blues like the pros!

How to play blues chord progressions, basic form, soloing skills, rhythm, etc.

I want to have you walking out of the lesson happy, and excited to go home and practice some new material. With me you'll learn about guitar, but you'll also learn about music and how playing can help you in life (perseverance, basic math foundations, etc.)

Want to play your favorite songs? Interested in learning to write your own music? I will help you build a solid foundation of music theory and technique while tailoring to your personal tastes and goals. Shoot me a message to see if we're a good match!

Hello I am Arnold, I am a musician who has been involved in music for over 8 years. Ive been playing for churches and doing events where I lead for about 6-8 years. Ive been playing guitar for over 8 years, and have vast knowledge on different techniques as well as musical theory knowledge. I am very passionate about what I do and have patience to teach kids as well as adults. I look forward to working with you and making you become the best you can be.

Guitar should be fun for everyone who picks it up. That's the most important thing to know. It's also important to understand what you are capable of, and maximizing your ability within that skill level before attempting to move on to the next. We naturally feel better when we do something right than we do when we try something beyond our level, but fail to make it sound good! I've been playing this instrument since I was 12, and I still light up with excitement when I discover something new or figure out a difficult pattern for the first time.
We can cover a unique and wide variety of styles, from Celtic fingerstyle to Progressive Metal, Christian rock, and everything in between. I can tell you now that the first thing I will try to do is get you to relax with the instrument and enjoy our time together, exploring the wide array of sounds and music this beautiful instrument can create!

Learning guitar, or any instrument, can be a fun yet challenging experience. I have gone through the whole process of becoming an advanced guitar player, so I know first hand what each student will be going through. When taking guitar lessons for me, I will always be sure to listen to the student, and help them achieve their goals that they want to pursue in guitar. Each person is also on different levels of this instrument. So I will definitely tune into the level that the student is and guide them to a better sound and technique. Although we will be doing some boring stuff such as note reading and music theory (a necessity as a musician) I wil try my hardest to make these lessons super fun by teaching the student any desired song or other desired things that they have in mind. My goal is to make the student the best guitar player in their eyes.
