Guitar with John M.

With 20 years of teaching guitar and over 30 years of performing I have a proven and relaxed teaching style that focuses on what the student wishes to accomplish on the guitar. I plan and direct Rock Show performances for students, and we've played festivals, auditoriums and smaller private events. I am a graduate of The Chula Vista School of Performing Arts, and an inductee to The San Diego Blues Hall Fame. Lic. City Of San Diego John M. Studios As an instructor with California Music Studios I received their first ever Forte Award. My San Diego area Rock Shows for Students are a cooperative effort of my teaching service and CMS. Whether playing at home or preparing to perform on stage, my students grow as musicians and make playing part of their lives. *** Lesson Details *** I specialize in getting Beginners comfortable playing, and then taking you to the next step to learn soloing, songwriting and learning your own style on the instrument. What do YOU want to learn? My own great instructor asked me this question years ago, and I retain this idea to focus lessons on exactly what the guitar student has in mind; Favorite Songs, Theory, Rock Soloing or Concepts in Songwriting. Achieving YOUR goals on guitar will make music a life long experience. *** Studio Equipment *** Guitars, Amps, Lesson printouts, Smartphone, Dropbox MOTU Digital Performer 24 Track Digital Recording *** Travel Equipment *** Guitars, Amps, Lesson printouts, Smartphone, Dropbox *** Specialties *** I plan and direct Rock show performances for students, and we've played festivals, auditoriums and smaller private events.
