Introduction: I provide individually tailored instruction. This means I understand you, the student, are unique, and that you have a unique learning style that fits you. I employ various methods that will fit your style to hopefully help you learn better, quicker and easier.
I also teach the fundamentals of music (notes, staff, key signatures, time signatures, dynamics, etc.) along with the guitar basics. So the focus is not just on teaching a song on the guitar, it is on teaching the student how to learn songs on the guitar as well. As the saying goes; "you catch someone a fish, and you feed them for the day, you teach them how to fish and they can feed themselves for a lifetime."
For Intermediate & Advanced Lessons:
I take your playing and reading to the next level. From new chords and voicings, to scales, to riffs in blues, rock, country or jazz, I can analyze what you already know and help you achieve new heights in your playing. I will give you more than advice about guitar effects pedals, and will teach you more than new scales; you will learn how to pick differently, how to use dynamic contrast, phrasing and other musical expressive devices that will set you apart from other players. I will help you figure out your own unique sound.
Seeing a student smile when they have just played their first song for me. Also, it is a privilege to be a part of the student's musical journey.
