Private Blues Guitar tutoring lessons Wayzata, MN.

I have been recording & performing blues music since late 2004, & in that time I've acquired a lot of knowledge on the nuances involved in making blues music truly sing on the guitar. We will cover rhythm guitar approaches, chord voicing, when to play (& not to play), developing leads, & working/blending as an ensemble member of a blues band.

Everyone can play the blues because everyone has felt them. My goal is to give you a new voice on an amazing instrument and explore the history of blues through its great players

Discover the history of the Delta Blues, Texas Blues and Chicago Blues music while learning the technique, the tone and the soul that so many modern musicians use for the backbone of today's music.
I'm a history buff, and this class is a special adventure for guitarist looking to learn more about the blues and incorporate it into their style!

I have over 20 years of profession touring and studio experience playing with some of the biggest names in the business that I bring to my lessons. I studied music in school and have continued to teach over the years which gives me the ability to use teaching and music school language with real world live performance experience. If you want to learn to play the way the pros do and have a lot of fun in the process, then this might be for you. My approach involves learning songs that you want to learn and teaching you techniques and theory in the process. Music is fun and should also be when taking lessons. Let’s get started!

Over fifteen years experience. If you wish to learn a specific song just let me know and we will learn it either during the current lesson or the next. Other than that we will learn standard tunes. You can choose to learn by ear, notation, tab, or some combination of these. Blues is a universal music and fun to learn.

I take what I’ve learned from classrooms and stages across the United States and give you the fast track. Although I have a large library of songbooks and theory books, I also have perfect pitch, a skill that allows me to write down the notes as I listen to a song for the first time. This allows us to start playing your requests right away.
