Private Electric Guitar tutoring lessons Arlington, VA.

Whether you want to chunk along to grunge, bend and wail like BB King, or learn some Django Reinhardt solos, the electric guitar offers all the goods.

In our lessons, while learning the basics of picking, fretting, scales and chords, we will start to work through your favorite material while aiming to achieve the best sound from the instrument - your sound!

Everyone learns differently and I try to make each lesson fit their needs. I find what goals you have and make a lesson plan specific to you. I have 10+ years of experience teaching ages 5-80. I have learned that no student is alike. At the end of the lesson I want everyone to have fun while learning.

I've been teaching guitar for more than 10 years online and physically. I also have released many songs with great guitar solos on Spotify, youtube music, amazon, and son.|I teach how to improvise over scales, over harmonies to Rock, blues, Pop as well as Brazilian music to beginner and advanced guitar players.

I love to help with all of the basics and then go from there with whatever specific genre or technique each student might be interested in!

Picking up the guitar has led me to amazing moments, friendships and the wonderful feeling of performing for a crowd! It's a hobby that stimulates your mind and is fun to play. Playing guitar is also a great creative outlet! I focus on helping students develop their own style! I break all the theory down really simply and patiently. The power is within you to be the best player you've always wanted to be! and I help students get there!

I am a recent Berklee College of Music graduate living in Chicago. At Berklee, I was the first rock/metal guitarist to receive the "Jimi Hendrix Award." This award is given to the best guitarist at the school. I've played and studied many styles of music ranging from classical, traditional, blues, country, rock, and metal.
Besides teaching, I have a passion for songwriting and performance. Here in Chicago, I am currently playing with various bands and writing my own music. My teaching style is very "goal-oriented," and I will teach students to set short-term goals, medium goals, and then demonstrate to them how reaching the short and medium-term goals leads to accomplishing long-term goals. I envision teaching much like my teachings at Berklee where once my lesson was finished, I only wanted to go home and learn more. If you want to learn multiple styles from someone who is truly passionate about the instrument, I'm your guy!
