    About Dan P.

    *** Travel Equipment *** I would bring my guitar, metronome, pen, etc. The students should have their own guitar and amp if electric. They should also have the appropriate books - mel bay note reading and a blank music staff and tab book. *** Specialties *** My method focuses on learning scales, chords & arpeggios and then showing the student how to apply them through knowledge of music theory. They will learn how to create music on their own as well as understand the music they listen to. I will also show my students how to play various popular songs and how to improvise. My areas of expertise are in rock, pop, blues, rockabilly, metal, country and jazz. I also teach note reading, fingerstyle and classical guitar.
