Private Blues Guitar tutoring lessons Burlington, KY.

Students learn how to play rhythm and lead while applying the knowledge to songs by their favorite artists.

I've been playing guitar for 36 years, and teaching guitar for 14 years. When you study blues guitar with me you will learn chords, scales, practical music theory, improvisation, sight reading, tablature, and most importantly songs by your favorite artists. I love to teach people to play their favorite music!

From Robert Johnson to Eric Clapton, my knowledge of the blues will set you on the path.

Practical but professional.
I teach in a way that any student can connect with the composer/musician inside them via practical knowledge.

Hailing from a background constituent of Jazz, Indie, Pop, Death Metal, and Rock, my studio is aimed at helping to coach and teach contemporary styles of the guitar. I can teach both acoustic and electric styles, with my specialties lying in Blues, Rock, and Metal (specifically on electric). The studio revolves around theory and practical musical concepts to help the student unlock the mysteries of the fretboard, eventually leading to the ability of heightened creativity and improvisation. I am an avid player of 10 years, and with my training in Music Education from WSU, have consolidated much of what I've learned to help maximize understanding and communication within the studio setting.

I am passionate about seeing students grow. I strive to be energetic yet patient when teaching to create a comfortable dynamic in my lessons that encourages excitement about music.
I have been playing guitar for 9 years, and have performed professionally with groups playing styles ranging from jazz, country, rock, blues, funk, and even musical theatre. I am capable of teaching beginners as well as intermediate students.
My lessons encourage a strong knowledge of fundamentals, so that a student can continue to develop years down the road with their acquired understanding of music, but I also am also careful to tailor lesson material according to a student's interests, personality, and natural learning methods.

I have been playing guitar in various capacities for over 40 years. I have taught beginners and intermediate students for the last 8 years. What ever your desires are relating to guitar, be it learning to play songs from a song book, learning to figure songs out by ear, improve your current playing abilities, I can help! And make it fun!

I have taught students ranging in age from 8 yrs old, to adults in their 50s. If you enjoy music, and want to dive deeper into it, just to play for your own enjoyment, or, if you have an itch to learn to play in a band or jam with some friends, I can get you there!!

My goal is not so much teaching one how to play an instrument, but more broadly, to help one cultivate their own living musicality. My own areas of practice, study, and specialization are in free improvisation, sound art/Sonic sculpture, conceptual performance, and songwriting/composition. I've explored a vast number of different styles and genre. Jazz, classical, folk and bluegrass, spirituals, blues, punk rock, contemporary ghospel, electronic dance and ambient, to name a few... I love working with kids, I love teaching any age any skill level, I promise to listen, and fine tune our lesson to fit your specific personality and needs.

A great teacher is not only one who is skilled with their instruments, but also knows how to effectively impart that knowledge in a effective model. I have been playing for over 45 years and have learned from some of the best.

I studied classical guitar under Glen Shulfer from the band Grassroots which sold millions of records during the 60's and 70's.

I studied Jazz under Sal Samataro who also taught Jazz great Jack Grassel.

I studied guitar and production at Berklee School of Music.

I am most proficient in blues, rock and metal.

I go out of my way for students to make sure they understand the lesson material. I have a videos of key lessons points that I provide to my students to help them maintain the lesson material.

If you want a teacher that can help you achieve your goals as a guitarist then schedule a lesson with me. You will not be disappointed.

I am a recent Berklee College of Music graduate living in Chicago. At Berklee, I was the first rock/metal guitarist to receive the "Jimi Hendrix Award." This award is given to the best guitarist at the school. I've played and studied many styles of music ranging from classical, traditional, blues, country, rock, and metal.
Besides teaching, I have a passion for songwriting and performance. Here in Chicago, I am currently playing with various bands and writing my own music. My teaching style is very "goal-oriented," and I will teach students to set short-term goals, medium goals, and then demonstrate to them how reaching the short and medium-term goals leads to accomplishing long-term goals. I envision teaching much like my teachings at Berklee where once my lesson was finished, I only wanted to go home and learn more. If you want to learn multiple styles from someone who is truly passionate about the instrument, I'm your guy!
