    About JD M.

    Greetings! I often find myself saying that music is the key to the universe. It is a medium in which all humans, regardless of language or culture are able to connect. It is because of this that I love sharing the knowledge that I have gained from nearly two decades of playing guitar. I am a Los Angeles based session musician, and private instructor. I currently have a few students, and am looking to grow and take on a few more. My curriculum revolves around: 1) Understanding the basics of theory, and showcasing how those basics are applied in songs (specifically bands and artists that you regularly listen to). 2) Proper technique 3) Some fun and fancy tricks! My goal is to make sure each lesson is clear so that you may fully understand and enjoy the benefits therein! If you would like more information about myself, here is a link to my personal website. There can be found a full biography, bands I have worked with, examples of my playing, and current news. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask! Personal Website: OnTheWingsOfDragons.com May the rest of your day be fun, and productive! -JD McGibney
