    Learn guitar by playing the songs you love every single day!

    Hi, I'm Mike! I'm here to help you pick up that guitar and NEVER want to put it back down! I am a guitarist, educator, and songwriting coach with over 10 years' experience helping people accomplish their music goals. I've played guitar for 16 years, both as a solo performer and as a band member. I originated in blues and R&B, and have spent the years since building strong chops in genres ranging from hard rock to indie pop. Basically, if it's not classical, I'm gonna make sure you learn to play it! My teaching style is all about having FUN, and playing the music that YOU love every single day! I work with the person, not just the musician, to make sure that your approach to playing and learning is tailored to your specific goals, needs, and preferences. Want to learn more about me? I'm an open book! Shoot me a message, and let's set up a free consultation for you to get to know me better, and see if I'm the instructor for you. I'd love to meet you!

    "The Daily Songwriter"

    The Daily Songwriter is focused on helping aspiring songwriters create music as a part of their daily lives, no matter how busy they are. In these interactive videos, you will learn songwriting tips and techniques for beginners all the way to experienced songwriters looking to keep things fresh. You will learn and participate in exercises that range anywhere from 2-30 minutes, easily fitting into your daily schedule. Have you been dying to write music, but are so overwhelmed by the notion that every session needs to end with a complete song? Do you have analysis paralysis? Is your songwriting routine feeling stale and you find yourself stuck, or repeating the same ideas over and over? Then please, for the love of music, subscribe to this channel! Because my goal for you isn’t to write a hit song every single day; It is to write music every day, and to learn to love the process of songwriting!
