Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
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 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.

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.

Matt is such an understanding and engaging guitar teacher and has helped me so much in learning how to play! The flexibility of the lessons is really convenient for me- (I can attend the lessons online via Zoom as I live in England) which is great. I love the range of work I get to do in the lessons from technical skills or learning how to play different songs/melodies. I would a highly recommend Matt as a teacher for any one interested in guitar, his lessons are amazing :)

Matt is a fantastic teacher! He taught my son how to play the ukulele and then I took over the lesson time slot to learn how to play the guitar. I was skeptical at first of learning over a video call, but Matt makes it fun and easy to follow along. He responds quickly to any questions you might have. And he personalizes your play list to what genre of music you're interested in. So don't hesitate to sign up!

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? 😊
