Even in my beginner lessons, I teach you a REAL SONG by an artist you like on the very first lesson! Text or call for details. My intermediate and advanced lessons help you learn more complicated lead rhythm techniques in pop rock and country REAL songs. I am also avail to coach original musicians who want to be paid as original songwriters/performers as that is what I do.

I've been teaching guitar for 30 years. My students have gone on to play professionally, have their songs on iTunes and teach at the college level.

I love working with students of all ages and experience levels and I can't wait to meet you!
