    Expand your guitar skills with a friendly experienced teacher

    One of the most fulfilling experiences is playing your own song with a band live and recording it! With my extensive experience as a teacher, session musician and recording engineer I can help you with every step of this wonderful process. From guitar technique and theory to songwriting, arranging and notating for your band, recording, publishing and finally booking gigs, I have and continue to do it all and can help you become more proficient and confident in every step!

    About Trevor G.

    5.0
    (1)
    I am a guitar teacher, session player, songwriter and recording engineer. I have been teaching professionally for over ten years and have worked with hundreds of students at all levels. I have a BFA in Guitar Performance from the California Institute of the Arts and have almost 200 published recording credits with dozens of artists, have played countless shows with a variety of ensembles, and even toured nationally! My approach to teaching is pragmatic and goal - oriented, so the lesson plans are flexible to what each student wants to achieve. Students at all levels can expect to see an improvement in technique, better understanding of fundamental theory, and an expanded vocabulary for improvisation and songwriting. In addition, I run a small recording studio in San Jose, and offer remote mixing lessons using the DAW Reaper. I look forward to being a part of your musical journey!
