Callaway, MD Guitar Lessons

Can also teach intermediate and advanced guitarists that wish to learn to read music.

If you are brand-new to the guitar, I'd love to jump right in and teach you a fun song right away during your first lesson. I like making this as fun as possible while you're learning a lot about the guitar. If you already know how to play, I'd like to help you gain a better understanding of how the guitar applies to basic music theory. I want to help you truly gain your independence as a guitar player. In my opinion, there are only two things that really matter when learning how to play the guitar: 1) Having fun and 2) Learning a lot. That's what I hope that you can attain by learning from me.

I have Years of experience as a live musician and teacher. So, whether you want to shred like Slash or finger pick to a country song. No matter what style of guitar you’re looking to play I’ll help you get there.

Through the foundation I've gained by the influences of Mel Bay, Hal Leonard, and Suzuki musical instruction methods, I compile my own teaching materials. Using personally constructed guitar lessons, I demonstrate, instruct, and guide the student based on my assessment of their individual needs, skill level, and progress. Lessons are formulated in Modules, and advancement through them is based on the student's personal aptitude, skill level, and practice commitment. Learning is accomplished by ear as well as through essential methods of musical notation (tablature, 5-line staff, rhythmic comprehension). Students are trained to perform written music as well as to write and express the music within themselves.
I'm an encouraging and motivating guitar teacher with a casual relaxed approach. Teaching new guitarists is very rewarding to me. To see the light come on and watch a student perform a song, express themselves musically, and create their own composition is an awesome experience.

Having taught for over a decade and graduated with a Certificate of Music from the Atlanta Institute of Music, I am well equipped to effectively teach any style of music to any person on any level. I have the most experience teaching beginner guitar and have a proven track record of success with students who are just getting their feet wet. I specialize in technical aspects of metal, country and rock.

I have 5 years of one-on-one guitar lesson experience and have been playing guitar for over 20 years. I am patient, encouraging, and tailor each lesson to the individual. Never a "cookie-cutter" lesson!

In my time teaching guitar, I have worked with students ranging from 8 years old to over 60! All ages are welcome! Learning guitar can and should be super exciting. Join me on this adventure!

I'm a huge Stevie Ray Vaughan fan which is why I teach blues and blues/rock guitar. My students love the fun way that I teach! You'll learn exactly what you want to learn and as you progress I'll make recommendations as to what you need to learn to get you to your goals. I also instruct students on how to make a great living playing guitar for those who wish to make playing music their career.
