If you've ever wondered how you can not only learn songs on your own but also create your own music.......then you're going to freak over the tools and techniques that you'll learn with me!  From learning your first chords and scales to music theory and everything in between I'm ready to give you the tools to succeed. 

My journey began in my early teens and I'm still playing in bands and performing live on a regular basis.  I studied under multiple extremely talented instructors through the Berklee College of Music Online and earned a Professional Certificate in Rock Guitar.  Being a student of the instrument is something that I strongly believe in and I really enjoy passing along my knowledge of Rock, Pop, Metal, Blues, and Country in a way that is easy to understand.

I've been playing guitar for a little over a year. Brad is teaching me how to play in a way that makes sense and I'm having fun with it now. He's encouraging and I want to practice the lesson material more now than I did with my previous instructor.

Brad is awesome. My son has learned so much and Brad is patient with him. Brad is knowledgeable and listens to what Ryan would like to learn!!

Great first lesson. Brad is knowledgeable, easy to communicate with and imparts info in an easy to understand manner. Web video method worked well also. Looking fwd to next lesson!
