    Learn to jam with the Blues Guitar! Private lessons with a pro guitarist of over 10 years

    In my 10 years as a professional musician I have performed everything from jazz to punk rock to Broadway classics. I can help you learn to play the guitar in whatever style you are interested in. I like to approach lessons in a way that the student gets an understanding of the fundamentals of music theory while learning music that they want to learn. Whether you're just picking up the guitar for the first time, or you've been playing for a while and hit a rut we can work to improve your skills.

    I have been a professional musician for the last 10 years. I graduated from University of Illinois at Chicago in 2016 with a Bachelors of Performance in Music with and emphasis on jazz guitar. Since then I have traveled North America playing all kinds of music. I've toured the country with the Broadway musicals Annie and Jimmy Buffett's Escape to Margaritaville and sailed the Caribbean playing in cruise ship show bands. I've played jazz, punk rock, country, blues, you name it. Whatever music you are interested in playing I can help you play it.
