Introduction: 30 + years of teaching experience teaching all ages, levels, and demographics. I have a lot of patience and understand that not everyone "gets it" at first. I was there once also. I use everyday analogies so that any one can understand even the most complex of musical ideas and I like to teach how to play not just what to play.
As a Guitar Teacher, I have taught ages from 4 to retired seniors. I have had students go on to sign major label recording deals and graduate from such prestigious schools as Berklee and G.I.T. I also taught summer school Rock camps including one sponsored by Bootsy Collins. I teach privately and am also available for online lessons via Skype.
As a Guitar Player, I have performed with Bootsy Collins, hit song-writer, Anthony Smith, and jammed with Lita Ford. I play and teach a very wide range of styles ranging from Rock, Pop, Modern Country, Singer-Songwriter, Finger Picking, Metal, Flamenco, Gypsy, Celtic, and other World/Ethnic styles. I'm well versed in both electric and acoustic and very much at home with a pick or fingerstyle.
Watching students grow, develop and accomplish goals they never thought they could do. Teaching also pushes me and keeps me creative as students always have good questions
