Introduction: I've had an extensive background in music and music performance. I've taught guitar lessons in other countries as well as the U.S. I have a degree in music theory and performance and a two year certificate from the Guitar Institute of Technology, in Hollywood, California. I received a Barry Manilow Music Scholarship in 2016 for my musical creativity. I love expressing myself creatively through music, especially guitar playing. I love teaching my guitar skills to other guitar enthusiasts. It gives me great pleasure to share my musical knowledge to my students. My goal is to enlighten them with techniques that are easy and fun.

As a brand new guitar player, Gil provides me with workable solutions to play the songs I wish to master despite my skill level. He is excellent at encouraging potential and progress. After each lesson I see my progress and feel encouraged that I can learn a new instrument.

Working with Gill was super easy. My wife hired him as a gift to help me get back into playing the guitar after being out of it for over 20 years. I had started watching videos but I needed help getting over the hump. Gil was my answer. He arrived at each appointment early and sent over several practice chord sheets so I could practice on my own. It was a pleasure working with Gil and he has restored my faith that soon I will be a pretty decent guitar player ( with continuous practice) thanks for all your advice and tips! His price is super reasonable for the value he brings!…Thanks Bill
