Allston, MA Guitar Lessons

My first priority is to inspire and motive. Find out the students wants and needs, then tackle them head on. As we do this proper technique is a must, it is the difference between a good guitarist and a great guitarist. Music theory and understand the language of music. The better we know the language the better we can speak it. Learn songs and music is a must ...it is the reason why we play.

Each of the guitar lessons I teach is as varied as the students who take them, but their are some general areas that I try to focus on with every student, regardless of ability level.

The first area is technique. Identifying and addressing technical issues in both the right and left hands, and creating a personalized warm-up and practice routine to address those issues, is an important first step for both the brand new and the advanced player.

The second area of importance is music theory, but don't let that scare you off. I only teach enough theory as each student needs to get where they want to go on the guitar, and I take it as slow as I need to make sure that everything is understood clearly. This can be anything from knowing the names of the strings and learning some basic open chords for the beginner, to advanced picking and chord/melody etudes.

The third key area is repertoire. Technique and theory are great, but it's by applying these concepts to music which is ...

Hi there! I've been playing guitar since I was a teenager during the '70s. i play and teach rock,blues, jazz, fusion and read and compose music. What you can expect from me is a patient, serious, determined teacher who knows how to convey simple to complex technique and ability to those who are destined to be a student and musician. I can teach how to read, listen, interpret, improvise and evolve many musical skills.

Whether you're a vocalist/songwriter, Jazz, Rock, Funk, Blues, or a Heavy Metal Shredder...I can help you develop the necessary techniques to find your voice on the instrument. Many of my students (present and former) have gone on to enjoy successful performing, recording, and teaching careers. With transcription and analysis of the music that moves you the most, you'd be surprised how fun and rewarding practicing becomes! Whatever your goal is, it has always been my commitment to help inspire the student to love the pursuit as much as the goal itself.

I was a self-taught guitar player until i studied music at UMASS Lowell where i learned about reading music and theory. I can give a unique approach to teaching by utilizing aspects of ear training and note recognition. I also have much experience in improvisation from studying jazz and playing in an improvisational band where listening and reacting to one another are key. I also go through lesson books such as the Suzuki books up to the real book.

I have been teaching guitar for 1 year and my students have been able to create and write their own songs, play in bands, and perform out. Within the first few lessons, you will be able to learn how to form and learn chord names and as time goes on you will be able to play full songs. I specialize in genres such as pop/rock/folk and provide beginner level books for students to work on. I love working with students of all ages and experience levels and cannot wait to meet you!

I love teaching music. I first picked up my first guitar when I was 13, and haven't put it down since! I've had many different teachers over the years, but the ones that helped me grow the most, were the most patient, understanding, and encouraging. These are the values I bring to the forefront of my practice. I believe making music is something that everyone is able to do, when they find the process and conditions that work for them. It is my job to help you discover those things, and have fun in the process!

The guitar is a miraculous instrument because of its distinctiveness and versatility. It can sing lead, or backup the rhythm section. The direction you choose to pursue on the instrument is entirely unique to your experience and perspective. I've learned to create a wide range of sounds on the guitar from blues and rock to folk and soul, by playing with many different types of musicians over the years. I look forward to helping you learn the patterns and principals of music ...
