Start playing guitar like a pro thanks to this experience guitarist and teacher of 15+ years.

I am an experienced acoustic guitar teacher with 15+ years of professional career behind me. I'm looking for eager students of all ages who want to start their guitar-playing journey. I structure my lessons so students learn what they want to know while also building a solid foundation of good playing habits (learning the right songs and techniques that you make you a better musician!). I specialize in rock, funk, and pop. I focus on playing by memory, but sheet music and cheat sheets are available upon request. Let's grab the guitar and let's start playing some songs :)

About Akos F.

(44)

Hi there, and thanks for stopping by. I'm an electric bass player and musician with a history of touring worldwide, playing rock, funk, and jazz. I graduated from Berklee College of Music with a Bachelor of Music. I am currently teaching and playing music professionally. I have had the opportunity to play on countless records and with many Grammy award-winning artists. My students range in ability from beginner to professional. Currently, I play in several bands in NYC and record and tour around the US and Europe. Currently, I am only offering online lessons. I work with bass players and guitarists with a wide range of abilities, some are beginners, and I have some who are professionals. I can help you prepare to nail an audition or if you want to get into music and have fun. I tend to focus on making sure my student's learning experience is stress-free and fun (most importantly) Some of the musical styles I regularly teach are Rock, Blues, Jazz, Funk, Soul, R&B, and Classical. ***Lesson Details*** My students will gain the following from consistent lessons. Techniques - Slapping, Popping, Playing with Fingers vs. Playing with a Pick Improvisation Creating interesting bass lines Learning songs to have a good foundation for future development. I tend to focus on learning songs instead of "boring" exercises. Although there are a couple of exercises I like to use, I make sure I put them in a playing context rather than playing it by itself. You get more benefits from learning songs and working on a problematic groove or phrase rather than spending a lot of time playing nonmusical exercises. Hope to hear from you and start learning some good music!

Great first lesson. Akos was able to quickly assess my years of disjointed / convoluted experience and get me on a pathway that'll take me towards my goals. I'm looking forward to our future sessions.
