Private Guitar tutoring lessons Boring, OR.

All that I request from a student is a desire to learn. I will work with you at your pace to achieve the musical goals you have. Each student begins at a different level.

The first lesson will focus on your musical background. If you are a beginner, that's no problem. I specialize in working with beginning students to teach them all the joy and satisfaction there is in mastering an instrument.

I love to laugh and the lessons are very laid back and fun, but I desire that a student move forward and learn new techniques.

You will be playing simple songs after your first lesson. I'm asked many times by students "how long will it take until I'm good." My answer is: that is in direct proportion to the amount of time you dedicate to practicing. After a month or two, you will know how to read music and have a basic understanding of music theory.

I use various curriculum depending on the student's need. For guitar, Hal Leonard or Mel Bay.

Beginning guitar lessons. Correct play position, picking, strumming, chords, musicianship, performing.

Time is spent on exercises, learning songs, and personal projects

I perform six nights a week in Las Vegas and have used what I have learned through performance to inspire countless students.

After our first lesson, I will then develop a plan, including exercises, songs, and a sample practice schedule that will get you where you want to be if you put in the time and effort!

Lessons will be typically broken into sections of harmony, technique and tune learning. Although, this is flexible, depending on the student.

I understand that every student learns differently and has different interests.

Having taught hundreds of students, all from different backgrounds and age ranges, I have the experience and ability to custom-tailor lessons to your needs.

Do you want to play your favorite songs but don't have the confidence in your playing ability? Are you interested in mastering a technique such as tapping, alternate picking, or learning phrases by ear but you are unsure of the most effective way? Working with me you will develop the necessary skills to fulfill your goals. My ultimate goal is to understand how YOU learn, so we can work most efficiently for you too achieve your guitar playing potential.
If you are ready to take on the challenge of becoming like the great guitarists you see online rather than just watching them, shoot me a message and we will get to work!
