Private Guitar tutoring lessons Winder, GA.

I have been playing guitar since I was 14, and have been performing and teaching for over 20 years.
I studied jazz guitar, composition, and theory at the Mannes Conservatory in NYC, NY., and also with several private teachers.
I teach many styles, including rock, pop, blues, folk, and jazz.
(I do NOT play classical or flamenco.)
I tailor my lessons to meet the interests and learning styles of my students. I teach playing by ear, music reading, tablature, and theory. I enjoy teaching students of all ages - children, teens, and adults.
I make lessons fun for young children, by including some musical games and activities. With teens and adults, I have the students choose the songs and styles they wish to work on, and go from there.

Lessons offered for beginner to intermediate players. I have a guitar I can provide, but definitely recommend they have one to practice on.

Unparalleled, expert private guitar instruction. Highly skilled master of jazz, blues, rock, shred, country, and all acoustic fingerstyles. I prefer teaching adults, all levels, from beginners to pros. I also teach qualified minors, age 12 minimum. Those who want the best seek me out. I can save you time!

I have been a full-time professional guitarist/private teacher for over 32 years, assisting literally thousands of students to become the best guitarists they can be. I have played over 3,000 professional gigs in all styles of music in nightclubs, casinos, touring bands, studio recording gigs, restaurants, concerts, festivals, resort hotels, weddings, corporate functions and more (I went pro at age 16). I am also the author of four instructional guitar books with Mel Bay Publications.

I am dedicated to your success, and I provide a guitar-learning experience that is superior in every way. That ability comes only from an extensive performance history, 40 years of personal study ...

Guitar:
Guitar is one of my favorite instrument to learn and I began playing at age seven. To become a well rounded musician and player I always start with basics. Hand and finger technique, notes, rhythms, chords, learning the fretboard, soloing and songs. If the student is only interested in learning songs I am happy to have them bring in anything they want to learn. For students who want more advanced technique I will teach them theory and how it relates.
