If you would like to improve your guitar playing quickly, I can help out. I have been playing and teaching guitar for 30 years, including studio work for film and television. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Music Performance from USC. I am also a former instructor at the Musician's Institute of Hollywood, and Dietz Brothers Music in Manhattan Beach. *** Lesson Details *** Lessons are structured around your musical interests and goals. I have a library of customized lessons, that I give out each week, as handouts to the student. I like to set clear practice goals with each student, but leave it to him/her as to how much they practice. I teach a diverse range of styles, and am confident I can help you reach your musical goals ahead of schedule! *** Travel Equipment *** I will bring all the teaching materials. They should have an instrument. *** Specialties *** Almost all guitar styles, modern and traditional. Quick transcription skills. Can teach tablature or traditional staff. Exercises to teach creativity and musicality. Computer software for sound processing and recording.

I was a brand new student, with very little experience, trying to teach myself online. When I realized that wasn't working I searched for an instructor and found Mike. He has a very patient demeanor, can play all styles, and most importantly is an easy going and fun instructor. He teaches what you want to play, and I have rather eclectic taste in music...... So if wasn't familiar with a band/song, he has the ability to listen to it and play it right on the spot. Mike has an exceptional ear! You can't go wrong with him, so give him a try! You'll be very happy you did

I signed up to play guitar for "The Sound of Music" with Burbank Community Theater, and after I got the music I realized I was way over my head. So, I went to Mike hoping to get a lot of help. He's amazing. First, he sight-read all of my music, which is crazy. Then he was able to simplify it for me so I could play it and still make it sound good. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't have been able to do the show. And now that I've done the show successfully I have a whole new range of skills on the guitar and playing the songs I love is way easier. I'm so grateful for Mike and everything he's taught me!
