Guitar

I’m a professional singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist who is signed to an international record deal and has unmatched teaching experience. I became a Takelessons partner in 2013 helping to launch their online lessons program, Google Helpouts, and beta tested Takelessons group classes/Takelessons Live. I have taught students all over the world (Approximately 30,000 lessons) on all video conferencing platforms including: Zoom, FaceTime, Skype, Google Voice. 

I take pride my students growth and accomplishments and share my own love for music by helping us make better music. My teaching style is easy to understand and I always make the learning process relaxed and fun. I’ve coached well known musicians, actors, actresses and celebrities, tutored on set Hollywood feature films and coached during recording sessions, prepared students for school and college music conservatory admission, castings, tours, and major label industry showcases. I’m flexible, reliable and treat all my students with top respect.

I began playing guitar at age 8 and have played/sung professionally since age 11. I studied with the best rock and pop vocal coaches in the world and graduated from New York University with a Bachelor’s of Music in Jazz guitar. My songs have been placed in feature and indie films, commericals for Nike, CocaCola, Samsung, Adidas, Capital Bank, and CBS, TNT, E!, MTV, VH1, Oxygen, TBS. As an artist I've had press worldwide including Billboard, Rolling Stone, Guitar World and more! 

I teach all styles including: pop, rock, classic rock, indie rock, grunge, alternative rock, hard rock, metal, punk, jazz, R+B, soul, blues, funk, classical, and folk.

Singing, voice:
You will see improvement immediately and begin to have a better understanding of proper resonance and intonation, support/proper breathing and diction. I’ll explain and teach you to use vocal placement to expand your range and how to bridge between registers. Vocal range will no longer be a mystery. You’ll begin to understand vocal resonance and vowel modification techniques to get you to sound your best and how to adapt your voice to different music styles and personality. I will show you technique and help you maintain your vocal health. and more including: runs and riffs, vibrato, screaming rhythmic singing, and learning to write melodies and lyrics for your songs.

Lead and rhythm guitar:
My step by step approach to learning to solo is easy to understand and apply. You’ll master Pentatonic, major and minor scales quickly while we work on your musical understanding. You’re understanding and love of music will grow as I teach you how to handle simple and sophisticated chord changes, and you will begin to be able to phrase like your Guitar Heroes. I’ll help you with chord voicing including: triads (open and closed), four-note chord voicing, comping, strumming, finger style, and how to play all styles. Techniques include: bending, alternate picking, sweep picking, tremolo picking, hybrid picking, tapping, tone, EQ and effects pedals, slide guitar, hammer ons and pull offs, arpeggios, and exotic scales, modes in diagonal, 3 or 4 finger positions. 

Bass Guitar:
My bass students will learn timing and rhythm better than ever. I teach right hand finger style and pick techniques. We build your sense of rhythm, negotiating odd time signatures and improvising, walking bass while I develop your understanding of chords, key and harmony. You will learn arpeggios, double stops, chords and improvising writing your own bass parts.

All of my students learn to sightread standard notation, tablature, music theory, ear training, composition and songwriting. You'll learn songs you love and build healthy, proper playing and singing techniques, while having a great time learning.

Excellent. I plan to take more singing and guitar lessons from him

Just wrapped up 2 lessons for my daughters (6 and 9) Eric did a wonderful job with them !

It's only been a few months but I have learned so much and am way more comfortable working with the guitar.

Eric is a rare gem of a teacher and I am so thrilled I started taking lessons with him.  I am an experienced singer, guitarist, and songwriter and Eric teaches everything.  I want to shred, I want to soul sing, I want to write better songs.  Now I have a wonderful instructor who can do all these things.  In addition, Eric has a relationship to the music that I care about, that I want to study and play.  I have taken lessons from jazz guys in the past who wanted to teach jazz while I wanted to rock.  Eric rocks.

As an instructor, Eric is patient, positive, complimentary and encouraging.  His philosophy is 1. Music is fun and 2. Music is most fun to play with other people.  YES!  I recommend him highly.

Eric has been awesome with myself and my daughter. I’m learning guitar and she the piano. He shows a great deal of patience with the both of us and makes it super simple. Would highly recommend

I have been a Guitar student of Eric's for the past 4 years! The years have truly flown by and I have immensely grown as a musician with information and skills. Eric is such a great teacher ! He is patient, consistent and is extremely knowledgable. He is encouraging me to break out of my shell and play in front of others and Im getting there. He is awesome !!!!

Hes a pretty cool dude, he taught me a few things and they make it seem like i know what im doing with a guitar 👍🏾

Eric my dream guitar teacher. He's got the rock and roll experience and street credibility, while also having the knowledge and skill of a music scholar. Eric is the best of both worlds and whatever your guitar goals, he will get you there!!!

Eric is a patient and knowledgeable teacher. I am a beginner guitarist and I feel like he provides me with a ton of information without overwhelming me.

I have been taking non-guitar music lessons since I was three years old and these guitar lessons are some of the most enjoyable that I can remember.

Have made incredible strides throughout my first few months. Although I have a long way to go - I feel confident in Eric's expertise to guide me there. Eric rocks!

I've been taking lessons with Eric for years and am continuously surprised at how great my voice sounds! Lessons have changed over the years as I've progressed and worked on different technical elements and different styles of music. I would highly recommend!

Eric is a excellent teacher! I have learned a lot from Eric. I have been a student for over 3 years now and have made great progress! He is so knowledgeable about music and is very helpful and patient. If you are looking to learn to play guitar or just to improve you will benefit greatly from having him as your teacher !

Been working with Eric a couple weeks now, and he's been great on working with my voice in learning a new style of singing. I've already learned so many new things about my voice!

Tonight, I attended karaoke for the first time since before I started working with Eric.

I got a lot of compliments about the improvements I've made over the last year! Thank you Eric!

Always learning from Eric and had a great session again today! 11/10 would recommend!
