Private Guitar tutoring lessons Eagle Lake, FL.

I've been teaching music professionally for the past 15 years. In that time, I've worked with students of almost every conceivable age and ability level on a wide variety of instruments (ukulele, guitar, bass guitar, banjo, harmonica, piano) and am here to help make your musical dreams come true.

I customize my lessons to the needs/learning style of each individual student with a focus on technique, music theory, and songwriting. With all that in mind, I'd love to hear about your musical goals and figure out the best path to get you there.

I like to teach students how to play along to the music they know and love, while developing their technique, and encouraging them to explore their creative side!

You will learn music theory, scales and chords, musical notation, and aural skills all while playing along to your favorite tunes.

I will help you become the guitarist you want to be!

A little bit about my life with the guitar:

I began learning guitar with my father and brother at home. Then I took electric guitar lessons in the blues and soul genre with a local legend named Carl "Good Rockin" Robinson. I also studied jazz and classical with Leo Cavanagh.

Later, I studied finger-style with Peppino D'Agostino, jazz with Mimi Fox, and flat-picking with Eric Thomson (website error won't let me spell his name correctly with a "p").

In college, I had the privilege to study classically with Scott Tennant and Pepe Romero, amongst others.

Today, I write and perform with a rock band called Idle Joy, with a folk singer called Rainy Eyes, and for private events. Recently, I had the great honor of ...

Students can experience a lesson plan directly formulated towards their own personal interests.
