I can teach you fingerpicking and riffs, from basics to advanced including how to use a slide guitar. I like older country and know lots of Johnny Cash.

If you are ready to take your music skills SERIOUSLY then stop wasting time and money on teachers who don't fully understand the instrument themselves. My name is Russell and I have been playing guitar professionally for 20 years and teaching music and producing records for over 10. I have worked with artists such as Mac Miller, Sean Kingston, Lifehouse, Disney's Caityln Taylor Love and have composed music to 100s of your favorite TV shows! Want to learn to shred? produce? write? dive into theory?

Experienced in acoustic and electric guitar playing. I have been playing for over 35 years with experience in rock, pop, funk, soul, r&b, christian music, and gospel. I played lead and rhythm guitar in church for over 15 years. My guitar lessons will help you become comfortable with chord progressions, basic rhythm techniques and basic soloing. I am very patient and have played with many amazing musicians in my years. I have played/performed with Joe Ellison from Run With Patience (Christian Artist). I played lead and rhythm guitar on a worship team led by David Cobb (Christian Artist) City Church 2011-2014, Learned "Johnnie B Good" from Billie Joe Armstrong Green Day front man in my youth with a child hood friend. Played Walnut Festival third stage at the Walnut Festival Walnut Creek 2012.

With each one of my students, I take into account how much time they are willing to practice, what genres interest them, and what learning style works best. I then come up with a structured lesson plan that is specifically catered to their needs.

If you have any other questions, feel free to contact me. Look forward to hearing from you soon!

I will teach you or your child all of the knowledge and tools needed to do whatever your dream is on your instrument. My aim is to help every student achieve their personal goals on their instrument within the context of a relaxed and patient environment that promotes a love of music!
