Guitar

Teaching guitar, and music for over 18 years, 10+ years of that time spent in professional music schools and shops. In addition, I spent 6 years in a special needs school, teaching general music, and guitar to students with learning and behavior issues.

I have had the pleasure of learning from numerous guitar teachers and mentors over the years including, T.T. Quick guitarist, David DiPietro.
Recently having toured the US with the band McClinton, sharing stages with national acts such as: Saving Abel, Adelita's Way, Framing Hanley, Red, Winger, Steelheart, Bad Seed Rising, LA Guns and many more. I'm proud to say that I have taken the skills I've honed during those years to stages and studios around the country. I am currently working on my solo material and will soon have releases available.  

I can help you make sense of concepts that many students find confusing, while focusing on the goals the student wishes to achieve. Lead and rhythm techniques, music theory, improvisation, and learning songs are all covered at the students preferred pace. Ultimately, I teach a student to be able to progress independently. Learning songs is a great way to get motivated, but in the end it's about learning the concepts that allow the student to learn those songs on his/her own and be able to use those elements to create their own music.
I teach all styles, and levels! Also offering lessons on Bass guitar!

I am fully Vaxed and now offering Local in home lessons.
I am proud to offer affordable, high quality, dynamic, ONLINE lessons. Featuring high definition audio and MULTI CAMERA HD video, on a HIGH SPEED, RELIABLE, wired ethernet connection.

I have been teaching guitar, full time, professionally, for over 17 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!

The first lesson is under my son’s belt and he is looking forward to the next ones!

Very happy with Gavin guitar classes and he is well experienced teacher.

Gavin is an awesome teacher! Our 11 year old son has been taking lessons with Gavin for just over a year now and is still excited about every lesson!

Gavin is patient, understanding, explains things very well, and very talented, He is also really funny and he teaches anything you want to learn and makes it fun.

You are the best guitar teacher ever. You always have patience whenever I screw up and you are always in my level.

You Are The First Best Guitar Teachers. Before You I found very 1 star guitar teachers and I joined them. They Suck

You Are Perfect And You Have Lots Of Patience And You Keep On Going Step By Step And you never give up on us.

Keep up all the hard work. Your Doing Extra - Fantastic!

Gavin is very patient, clear and is open and sensitive to my  level

Very professional and patience teaching my son observed last 3 classes

Fun Guy, clear, precise, helpful, knows how to listen and tune into me. He makes me feel like I might become 
Chert Atkins!!

Gavin has a knack for understanding where you need to grow in your guitar playing and explains, in easy to understand terms, how to get there. I highly recommend his lessons for any level of playing.

Gavin is very patient and quickly assessed where my playing needed work.

Gavin was great to work with during our first lesson. Looking forward to many more!

Gavin is always very patient with me and is willing to repeat things as many times as he needs to in order for me to understand. He is incredibly knowledgeable and I’m very happy to have him as an instructor!

We got to know each other, built a good foundation for future lessons...

First lesson went great... Gavin is super knowledgeable and imparted some wisdom along with technical details.  Looking forward to future lessons!

Gavin is very knowledgeable and is a great instructor. He adapts his lessons to meet the needs, interests, and skill level of his students, and he keeps the sessions light and fun. My 8 year old son loves taking lessons with him.

A follow up to my first video where we took a look at triads on the first three strings, in this video we examine three chord inversions on the 2nd-4th strings. We will learn 3 major and minor inversions on these strings, plus a couple of bonus shapes.

Major And Minor Triads On The 2nd-4th String: More Movable Chords With No Barring!

By learning your basic major and minor triads, and their inversions, you can always have the appropriate chord at your fingertips. These triads are easy to play, involve no barring, and will allow you to play any sharp or flat, major or minor chord. 
Small triad voicings, like these, sound great in a band context and are a refreshing alternative to open "Cowboy" chords.

Major And Minor Triads On The First Three Strings: Play Every Major and Minor Chord With No Barring!

When we pick up our guitar, it is a great idea to warm up. it gets us in touch with the instrument, developes dexterity, and gets the blood flowing. One of the most popular guitar warm ups involves the chromatic scale, playing every note by half steps on the fretboard. There is not only the basic exercise, but countless variations. This video will introduce you to a few of those variations. 

Chromatic Warm Ups And Variantions- Getting Your Shred On

This video students will learn more about the pentatonic scale, learn how to change keys, and be introduced to the major pentatonic scale.

Pentatonic Soloing Part 1.5 

This is the first in a series that will take a student from the very beginning of learning to solo with the pentatonic scale, to advanced techniques and being able to solo over the entire neck.
In this first video, we will take a look the first of 5 pentatonic shapes, and how to go about acquainting your fingers with this new shape.
