Guitar with Michael F.

I have been professionally trained in music theory, guitar, and other other instruments. I have acquired the essential tools/skills to become an excellent musician. I am fluent in both electric guitar and in classical guitar and I am also experienced in performing in front of an audience as I have played numerous shows as a local artist and a few recitals for classical guitar. I also have a good base of knowledge when it comes to gear for performing, including tube amps, amp modelers, DAWs, strings, picks, etc. My method of teaching starts with the assessment of where the student's current level of comfort with the instrument is. After that, we go over the students goals and the most efficient ways to achieve them! The exercises are concise and will incrementally get more difficult, as to not overwhelm the student. Often times, aspiring musicians will get bored from practicing nonmusical exercises or they will become frustrated from attempting to play pieces that are above their skill level. The way I combat this is to put the emphasis on PLAYING! Practicing will always be incredibly important, but if you're not having fun, then what's the point?!
