I've been teaching Guitar for 30+ years and my students have gone on to play in their own bands and work with major artists everywhere. Within the first few lessons, you'll be able to know your way around the instrument  and as time goes on you'll be able to play like a pro. I specialize in Pop, Rock, R&B, Country and Gospel and love working with students of all ages and experience levels and I can't wait to meet you!

Guitar:
I’ll make certain you're working with the right guitar for you and your size, style etc.. I'll lower the action if the strings are too far from the neck, which is the case 99.9% of the time with nearly all guitars (making it hard to fret a note or barre.) We can even spend 20 min of the lesson changing the strings to one's more well-suited and this will be a necessary skill you will learn.
You will be given a step-by-step approach to learning the instrument as a whole, yet in a slow, considerate to your learning pace-fashion..You'll get into it.
I'll be giving you different warm-ups and exercises which induce strength & flexibility & knowledge & technique.
Learning songs or working on developing your own song ideas
Scales, modes, shapes and patterns and how to use them to improvise 
How to play with soul and not sound sterile or mechanical.

Gregory is awesome!  He has increased my daughter's confidence with singing.  Provides great and honest feedback. He is here for you to improve for sure!

Had a few lessons and just left me hanging and we never got back to  studying theory  :(

a musician who knows how to share knowledge

Definitely the MOST AMAZING teacher EVER! He explains things thoroughly and makes me progress at a very good pace. If I don't understand something, he explains things in different ways until I get it. He is lively, fun, and passionate about teaching and encourages others to learn their favorite instrument. Very knowledgeable. I look forward to taking more lessons with Gregory!

Super! my 2nd lesson here and Gregory really made me feel welcomed into the group. First time taking a group lesson for music and I wasn't sure how it would go but I really like the format!

Greg is an amazing guy, he encouraged me a lot to use different view to learn music. And this way is in fact, very efficient and very fun to learn. I’m really glad I can find such a great teacher and I definitely suggest to learn with him!

He was a great help for improving my foundations for singing. Really nice and good to work with.

Gregory is really amazing to work with. He’s always patient and encouraging, making sure that I am understanding and able to play what he’s showing me. I feel comfortable working with him and his positive attitude helps build my confidence during each lesson. His style of teaching is fun and very effective. I feel so fortunate to have him as my teacher.

I knew immediately that Gregory was the most appropriate teacher/instructor for me. He was cheerful, patient, encouraging, and kind. I'm a quick learner but insecure and impatient with myself. Gregory made me feel at ease right away. I encourage anyone that is yearning to learn a new skill, no matter what age you are, that you choose Gregory. I can't wait for my next lesson! 

I appreciate Gregory because I favor a relaxed/spontaneous approach and high-strung as I am, I felt at ease with this talented tutor who allowed me to EXPRESS my goals.  I'm an individual who APPRECIATES other creative individuals that partner with me to help dredge out potential.  Thank you, Gregory The Great

I had my first lesson with Gregory and I was slightly nervous. He put me at ease immediately. He has a very relaxed approach and a good sense of humor. I like his technique of teaching straight off the bat. Not stuffy or intimidating. He has a great set up and sends you home with paperwork of what you’ve learned so you can practice.  Recommended.

Gregory is the real deal! I have known him very well for many years, and can say he is very talented & trustworthy.  He is not your everyday typical teacher. So if you are looking for creativity, experience and something different, he is your guy!

A different and unique kind of vocal warm-up created for male singers with an edge. Great for all levels and ages. Works on only the lower registers if the male vocal range. Look for Pt 2 & 3 for mid-range and upper registers (coming soon!)
