Fort Calhoun, NE Guitar Lessons

I teach guitar lessons for beginner level up to intermediate. I use FJH curriculum for younger students and New York Guitar school curriculum for older students. Students will learn how to read music, play chords and rhythms, and learn how to play their favorite songs!

Guitar

Everyone loves the guitar. For beginners I recommend starting on an acoustic. For more advanced or serious players it's fine to go with an electric. I recommend to all my students to develop a sense of their own playing style. No matter what level your playing is at, it'll help you stand out. You don't necessarily have to be a country guitarist or a metal guitarist. You can be influenced by any genre. It will help you be a more diverse player. I teach all styles of guitar including rock, pop, metal, country, blues, etc.

Expect a fun time, delving deep into what it means to be not only a guitar player, composer, et cetera, but a real musician. We will go over books, videos, and other methods that have been proven to work over the years to make sure you get a solid foundation, if you're just beginning, or refining your skills to get to the next level.

Whether you want to learn, blues, rock, jazz, classical, funk, pop, or gospel, I will make sure each student gets a tailor made experience just for them.

Lessons will be based on what YOU want to learn! Together, we will articulate these goals and create a curriculum to achieve them. Lessons and practicing should be fun, and my experience of teaching many many different students taught me that structured and goal oriented practice is necessary in order to play the music you want to learn.
Your part is to bring up this effort and practice regularly.
My part is to help you learn HOW to practice and master the instrument with proper technique.

Guitar lessons are a fun, laid-back, and encouraging experience for anyone to pursue. My lessons are specifically designed to accomplish the goals of the student, whether it's as simple as playing along with your favorite songs, or obtaining the musical foundation to begin writing your own songs. Former students have thanked me for being laid-back, non-rigid, and down to earth. My diverse musical background lets me offer students of any genre a fast track to learning the skills they desire, and having fun along the way as well!

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.
