Private Guitar tutoring lessons West Newton, MA.

Berklee graduate devoted to helping you make progress, whether it is a song you want to master, a new technique or simply the basics.

I have cracked the code on Pentatonic scales.
You must know both, major and minor, and when to use each. Also, Barre chords, root 6, E form, and root 5, A form, Maj, Min and 7th. Simple and clear.
