Cedar Creek, NE Guitar Lessons

Experienced guitar teacher of 7 years! My lesson plan is simple: I incorporate a wide variety of guitar-method books + use my favorite material from each of them. I take the time to get to know the student...what kind of music he/she likes... what genre they're into. Deconstructing songs (chords, strum-patterns, etc) is always recommended, as well as delving into multiple styles + genres. I often incorporate backing tracks as the student is playing to emphasize rhythm + timing.

The time devoted to each portion of the lesson is totally adjustable. You will learn what you want to learn at your own pace.

I have been helping students reach their goals on guitar for over 18 years! I have been playing guitar for over 20 years and am accomplished on almost any style. My teaching methods help students achieve success because I adjust to each student's needs and abilities individually to create a great experience. I couple traditional teaching with performances offer professional student shows and concerts throughout the year to help enrich the experience!

Hello!

I teach all levels of guitar specializing in classical, jazz and modern styles. My primary goal is to fit the needs of the student while ensuring that they understand the fundamentals of rhythm and harmony, sight reading, improvisation and music theory where applicable.

Come study Guitar with me! You will learn solid technique and fundamentals, rhythm skills, soloing, chords, melodies, and gain a deeper understanding of the hows and whys of playing this amazing instrument.

I've taught 1000's of guitar lessons, and my students always say that studying with me opened up new possibilities for them and helped them get 'over the hump' in their playing. Whether it's advanced fingering strategies, or just starting out, I can help you achieve your dreams.

I have software and hardware tools that will help your home practice, as well as unique methods that will make your practice way more fun!

I LOVE giving music lessons! I tailor each lesson to fit the students interests, as well as give them a strong general music foundation to carry them through their musical endeavors! Music is FUN! Why should learning about it be any different?

A little bit about me:
B.A. in Music Technology
MPS in Music Performance
I play in a country band, a jazz quartet, I DJ weddings, and I am working up a solo show using my loop station!

I have extensive experience teaching and playing across many styles including jazz, classical, R&B, funk, rock, folk, improvised music, and more. I approach each student as an individual with their own goals, needs, experience level, and learning style to create a specialized curriculum that helps propel the student towards their best self and enjoy the process at the same time.

I have a degree in music from Kilgore College. I am proficient in most "genres" of guitar, however what I have that most other teachers lack is a long history of playing in rock, metal and experimental touring bands. My current band is This Day Forth (6 years now on lead guitar), and we tour and record year around.
Not only can I teach you how to play whatever style of guitar that you are into, I can give you lessons on how to be in a successful touring band. From managing merchandise, financing, public relations, social media branding, making music videos, DIY booking, avoiding scams and anything else you might want to know about being in a "band".

I have over 13 years of experience. My father was a guitar instructor for over 25 years, and taught me everything I know. I have won 1st Place in a National Guitar Competition and have been recognized by World Re-known guitar players and musicians. I have a huge library of knowledge and techniques for the instrument and theory.
