    Learn guitar with expert guidance with 20+ years experience

    In my 15 years of teaching, I believe in allowing students to find a love of playing music that keeps them engaged in the process of learning over the years. I specialize in all forms of rock, blues, and pop music. They will have fun and enjoy guitar as they discover their "artist within". Often they will learn songs from the very beginning. Through learning songs, they will become familiar and proficient with technique, scales, chords, etc.

    Want to have FUN learning and playing guitar? Want to play songs and riffs that interest YOU? I would love to help you do just that! I specialize in teaching beginners and intermediate guitar in all forms of rock plus pop, blues, alternative, and R&B. My focus is solely helping you get to where you want to be in your playing. I teach a proven method in allowing students to find a love of playing music that keeps them engaged in the process of learning over the years. Students should be shown how to bring their own personal style and creative expression to their performance. They should also be able to adapt and customize songs in a manner that keeps the songs recognizable and enjoyable, but produces a performance that is uniquely their own. This is a method that I strongly believe in. Depending on the student's ability and willingness to learn, they can be up and playing songs within a short time, all while learning the correct techniques, chords, notes, scales, etc. I have been playing guitar for over 35 years and have been in bands with numerous styles from rock to pop to metal to gospel. I have 15 years of teaching experience. I currently play in a local Rush tribute band: Animation – A Tribute to Rush. You might also find me somewhere on a Sunday morning playing for a local church.

    Tony is helping me improve my technique via the vehicle of learning some Rush songs. My vibrato, bending and pinch harmonics are really improving and its helped get unstuck from my plateau.

    I am a 64 year old who has always wanted to learn guitar. I have owned a guitar for 5 decades and could never play. Thanks to Tony, I have begun to make music come out of my instrument. His patience and customized teaching to the music l like listen/play have made my learning experience enjoyable and effective. I highly recommend Tony for anyone wishing to learn guitar.
