The foundation of Blues can be rooted in the 'Dominant' Arpeggio, Blues and Pentatonic Scales. I show you all of the popular licks and tricks of classic blues players with thorough explanation.

I've been playing guitar for 36 years, and teaching guitar for 14 years. When you study blues guitar with me you will learn chords, scales, practical music theory, improvisation, sight reading, tablature, and most importantly songs by your favorite artists. I love to teach people to play their favorite music!

I am an experienced teacher, with a degree in music and over 15 years as a worldwide touring/ session guitarist. I welcome students of all ages and customize lessons depending on the needs and goals of each individual. Would you like to learn your favorite songs? Are you interested in writing your own music? Maybe you're already a more experienced player and want to improve your technique, speed, or reading. Whether you are a total beginner or a more advanced guitarist, I will help you achieve your goals while building a strong musical foundation upon technique, ear training, and theory.

For over 15 years I have been a musician and have learned various skills of the music profession. My principal instrument is guitar (electric, acoustic, classical, extended range) and have studied numerous styles such as classical, rock, blues, jazz, indie, fingerstyle, country, metal, funk, and others. I cater to the goals of the player and focus on lessons that keeps the student interested.

Instead of a rigid model of teaching, I teach by getting to know what my students like and get them to learn the guitar by songs they're inspired by! Guitar can be pretty difficult to learn especially in the beginning. So I want to make sure my students enjoy the process of learning as much as possible!

I am passionate about seeing students grow. I strive to be energetic yet patient when teaching to create a comfortable dynamic in my lessons that encourages excitement about music.
I have been playing guitar for 9 years, and have performed professionally with groups playing styles ranging from jazz, country, rock, blues, funk, and even musical theatre. I am capable of teaching beginners as well as intermediate students.
My lessons encourage a strong knowledge of fundamentals, so that a student can continue to develop years down the road with their acquired understanding of music, but I also am also careful to tailor lesson material according to a student's interests, personality, and natural learning methods.

Im awesome

I have played guitar for 15 years and have been teaching students for eight. I began taking lessons at a young age where i discovered my passion for guitar, song writing and performing; I then followed that passion to Sydney Australia where I studied music for three years at Hillsong International Leadership College. While there, I played with various Hillsong teams, including Hillsong Live and Hillsong Youth where I worked on developing my craft both independently as well as in a band context.

I have a huge passion for helping students discover their strengths as musicians and then developing the skills necessary to pursue them. I provide a fun, challenging and unique learning experience for all sorts of guitar players interested in growing their knowledge and skills.
