I design my guitar lessons around each individual student and strive to keep the lesson light and enjoyable while also aiming for a high standard of education. Whether you are looking to play for pleasure at home,around the campfire,or want to learn practical music theory for composition and/or improvisation. I have instruction programs for all levels and styles from beginner to advanced and from ages 7 years on up.

I want to make your lesson both fun and informative. Sure we can work on what you'd like to but we can explore where that bit of music comes from, it's history both in musical theory and the world of music itself. I want you to leave each lesson feeling like you know more about the guitar and music itself. We can both keep learning and exploring the possibilities.

Many students start on an acoustic guitar rather than an electric. I did, as a matter of fact. Acoustic guitars can be tricky if the student doesn’t have one that is the proper fit for them. My first goal with acoustic students is to make sure they are comfortable with their instrument, and that they can get the best sound out of it without using too much energy.
I find that many acoustic students turn out to be great at playing and singing after just a few months. Some of my youngest students have even composed their own music.

Open and individualized lessons will teach each student in a unique fashion to fit them best. Chords, theory and musical reading will be the main focus of these lessons. My individualized approach works well for many students so that they learn what they want, how they want, and see the results that they specifically are looking for

Students can expect to learn anything from basic chords to advanced theory and improvisational techniques on their instrument.

As an original artist, acoustic guitar has been one of the most important iterations of the instrument in my life. I feel that my mastery over acoustic guitar is on par with my mastery on electric guitar and acoustic guitar is my preferred instrument to teach. As a professional gigging blues/rock/indy musician I have toured while playing all forms of acoustic genres and venues, from jazz to country.

This category also applies to electric guitar.
Learning anything from chords, pop songs, basic melodies, sight reading, rock songs, playing with a capo, blues, country, jazz, soloing/improvisation, playing with a slide, strumming technique, fingering techniques, picking, finger picking, etc.
