Rock, jazz, & acoustic guitar lessons with a musician teaching since 2002

Extensive experience teaching rock, jazz and acoustic guitar. I base my teaching around the interests of the student, and also make sure to cover important fundamentals of music such as scales, chords and music theory. I enjoy helping students develop their unique talents and helping them to find their own musical voice on the guitar or bass.

Devlin answered all my questions and was very helpful. I got a lot out of our hour of coaching. I will definitely contact him again for a follow-up.

Devin is very well versed in the ins and outs of Logic and was easily able to help with with my project. He has a very easy manner and is able to break things into bite size chunks for learning, plus useful tips on recording, mixing, notation, bussing and much more! Thanks Devin!
