Introduction
I have been teaching guitar to people of all ages and skill levels for over 15 years and I can't imagine doing anything else for a living! Although I live in Phoenix, Arizona with my wife and 2 kids, I teach the majority of my students online through Zoom, Skype, Facetime, etc. My biggest passion is to teach my students how to play the music that they enjoy. I have taught everything from Taylor Swift to Metallica and anything in between! One of my main goals in teaching guitar is to make the process fun and engaging for every one of my students. I offer a free virtual meet and greet to everyone who's interested so don't hesitate to reach out! While I do have standard lesson rates, I can be flexible on those if needed. All lesson/song materials will be provided for you digitally so you always have access to what you need for your practice time. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Matt is a wonderful teacher! I have been wanting to learn how to play my guitar for three years and I have found the perfect person to help me! I would have also selected work quality and value if I could choose all of the options I really appreciate Matt, and his teaching style. He is encouraging, patient, and he always reassures me that I will learn in time. Thank you, Matt!

Matt has been a great guitar teacher. He’s been so patient and kind with my daughter. I love seeing her excitement for her lessons every week. She’s learned so much so far while also having a lot of fun. I really appreciate how simple Matt makes scheduling, payments and receiving learning materials. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone wanting to learn.

Working with Matt has been great. Lessons are always fun and I've made good progress as a beginner with no idea what I was doing when we started. He's always happy to direct lessons towards what I'm interested in playing which is great in terms of motivation to continue practicing. I doubt I'd have kept up playing if I hadn't decided to take lessons, so it's been very worthwhile.

My daughter has been taking weekly lessons online with Matt for a year now. Her progress has been great and most importantly she is loving playing guitar and practices of her own accord (no nagging required). He is the best.

I love everything about working with Matt. Aside from the fact that he has crafted the lessons where the progression in chord learning makes absolute sense to someone new (or returning after MANY years) to guitar playing, he also has a great knack for giving me tools to work through insecurities about how I sound, how to relax, etc., which has been a tremendous help. My most favorite lesson thus far is trying to play with my eyes closed all the chords I have learned. I’ve been doing it today in my free time and I have discovered each time I miss the chords less and less. He is patient, kind and encouraging. We have had only 3 lessons so far and I already have 7 chords down really well and have been playing around with different chord patterns and the strumming techniques he has taught me….All the things!! I’ve seen a remarkable improvement from each lesson to the next. I HIGHLY recommend Matt! Oh did I mention he’s affordable? 😊
