Guitar

William plays an eclectic mix of Americana ranging from blues, swing, folk, and jazz. Early in his music career, he focused on blues artists from the ‘50s and ‘60s such as Nina Simone and B.B. King. He transitioned to playing folk/rock such as James Taylor and The Band. The result is a guitar player and vocalist with an eclectic style of off-beat swing with engaging musical progressions.

Music Instructor

English

I focus on teaching proper techniques to give you a lifetime of enjoyment playing the songs you love. Beginning students learn posture, how their guitar works, fundamental picking, and strumming skills. Intermediate students get lessons on chord progressions, applying scales over chord progressions, and repertoire building.

At the end of each class, students will have work to focus on during the week to prepare to demonstrate the following week. Knowing what you need to practice is a key part of my lessons!

I am an actively performing musician. I'm happy to help if you have aspirations to perform in front of others!

Very knowledgeable and a very good
Communicator.

William is very patient and understanding. I got a lot out of it I plan to take additional classes

He was a good teacher and that is no small thing! Helpful, Kind, straightforward and personable. I would recommend him to anyone. Thanks for the Handouts.

William's a great, nice, knowledgeable teacher.  I had a cool guitar class with him where he taught some helpful music theory and tips to take my guitar playing to the next level to make it more musical. He explains concepts very well and I look forward to taking more classes with him!

William is a great instructor.  He explains the material in a way that I can grasp and retain it.  I am a beginner and he explained each component of the guitar and how each part functions.  I've learned how to properly hold the pick and how to follow-through when strumming.  I am also learning drills to develop finger strength and control.  I'm looking forward to future lessons with him.

Barrett is a great teacher. He is very detail oriented and gives excellent feedback on all aspects of technique and theory.

William S. clearly has alot of experience building software and software teams. I have many of the same problems he had. Learning how he solved them through good programming practices (Code Smells, Refactoring, Unit Tests, Agile) made it much easier for me to make changes in my team.

Barrett is clear and concise. You learn alot of fun and interesting music performance facts while learning songs.

Guitar Drill #16

In Guitar Drill #15 we are introducing the hammer-on technique. This lets up play multiple notes with one pick stroke. Take your time and go slow. It will take time to develop this cleanly!
