Special attention will be paid to technique and chord shapes across the neck.

Each lesson is designed on the level of the student's ability from beginner to advanced. Rock, R&B, funk, jazz, blues, POP and country music. I like to use song learning as a vehicle to sharpen your skills. Learning skills through songs is more fun for beginners. More advanced students will work on everything from theory, reading, harmony; and how you can use scales and arpeggios in a number of ways over several different styles of music.

The thing that makes guitar lessons with me unique is my understanding both as a musician who has learned by ear as well as one who has been professionally trained to read music and understand the theory behind it. Most importantly, I've been teaching for 11 years, and I understand exactly how to get results for you fast.

I have been teaching electric and acoustic guitar for 5 years and performing as a professional musician for over 7 years. All level and ages are welcome!

Lessons are focused on music theory, harmony, music styles, sight reading, technique and learning songs. I use Logic X and MacBook Pro to record myself and help the student to learn chord progressions in songs, guitar solos or specific patterns and licks.

With over 15 years of music experience and a Bachelors of Music degree from Azusa Pacific University, I can customize lessons to fit students’ musical and creative goals. I am based out of Orange County and I have a space in my home in Huntington Beach that students can come to receive lessons or I can travel to their home (provided they are within Orange county). Price of lessons may vary depending on distance of travel and lesson lengths.
