Guitar with Zachariah R.

Hello! My name is Zach, and I have been in love with the guitar since I was 10 years old. Over the 14 years that I've been playing now, I have always been hungry to learn and play in many different styles, starting with blues and folk as a young boy and going on to learn jazz, country, R&B, metal, and even dabbling in classical and flamenco. Studying and understanding these styles and all the wide variety of techniques they use is something I love to share with my students, as I believe that whatever style or genre one prefers, it is still tremendously beneficial to learn from all types of music. As a self-taught guitarist, I realize how difficult it can be to make progress without guidance on proper technique and practice habits. That's why I like to apply my years of trial and error and the knowledge I've gained from studying great players and playing with talented musicians towards helping students overcome those hurdles faster, make greater progress and (as a result) have even more fun playing the guitar. That is why I am always happy to find ways to make that possible according to each student's unique learning needs and personal goals by providing them with tailor made learning materials and practice routines, as well as to encourage them to experiment and explore the guitar in their own way aside from regular practice.
