Max Hamm

With 20 years of experience playing guitar and studying music theory, I bring both technical skill and musical insight to every lesson and performance. I have trained in multiple styles, from rock, jazz fusions, pop, contemporary, and classical environments allowing me to tailor lessons to each student’s goals and interests. In addition to guitar, I have experience with and studied, bass guitar, piano, drum kit, and other orchestral instruments. I attended McNally Smith College of Music in Minneapolis for music composition and was accepted into Berklee College of Music in Boston, further honing my understanding of music theory and creative expression. I am currently an airline pilot and instructor teaching jet aircraft systems/procedures, bringing a disciplined, structured approach to all my instruction while keeping it engaging and accessible. Guitar Influences: (not limited to) Allan Holdsworth, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Shawn Lane, Greg Howe, Eric Johnson, Plini, Paul Gilbert, Van Halen, Steve Lukather, Pat Metheny, Jimi Hendrix, Yvette Young, Jakub Zytecki
