I have been teaching guitar, full time, professionally, for over 10 years. Even if you think you're one of those people that "just doesn't get it" you will, and I can help. From teaching beginners their first chords, to taking advanced players to the next level of chops and understanding, I've been there. Let's rock!

A major priority of my guitar teaching is to have students making expressive music every time they touch the instrument.

I begin by working on tone production on the open strings of the guitar, so that students are able to produce a full, beautiful tone on the first day. From there, we study left- and right- hand techniques in the context of real pieces of music, giving students the chance to apply the mechanics of guitar playing to the expression of musical ideas. At the same time, I work with students through progressive studies and warm-up exercises that have built-in expressive goals, so that they can learn to rely on their own ears to further refine their playing.

As I believe that a good guitarist is, first and foremost, a strong musician, I fold a number of diverse activities into weekly lessons, developing skills in music theory, ear training, sight reading, composition, and improvisation, all of which reinforce the acquisition of strong technique.

My lessons are fun and enjoyable. Learning the guitar at your pace in a comfortable, friendly environment. I want to teach you what I know and enjoy so you can learn to enjoy playing as well. Classically trained is not me. I like the old time Americana folk roots of guitar and I like to share my knowledge.

Guitar is my main instrument as a music major in college. I want students to learn at their on pace while motivating them to progress with each lesson. Students should be able to request certain genres and songs to learn. I am open to teaching any genre as well as the theory aspect necessary to truly understand the guitar.

I teach primarily guitar focusing on steel-string acoustic percussive style as well as melodic heavy metal/neoclassical shred metal, two difficult styles which I have dedicated my 25 years+ as a musician trying to perfect. In addition to mastery in these 2 specific styles of guitar I am also a composer and multi-instrumentalist who also teaches and performs piano, voice, bass, trumpet, mandolin, mixing & mastering & digital composition out of my own music studio here in Los Angeles.
