Introduction: Learn how to play the guitar for real!
Hello, my name is Erik Kluiber, and I have played guitar for both Metal Blade Records recording artist Gypsyhawk and Earache Records recording artist White Wizzard. I've been teaching for 20 years. I have taught at the School of Rock, Axis Music Academy, Privately, and still teach at Guitar Center Studios in Woodland Hills, Ca from time to time.
My structured guitar lessons, specialize in the rock and metal genres. The main goal is to get students to be confident and capable to transfer what they hear in their heads onto the fingerboard. We split an hour lesson into 2 sections. The first half focuses on scales, theory, and technique. While the second half of the lesson is learning a complete song note for note that will push your capabilities. We dissect the note choice, techniques, and song writing concepts within each song. My lessons are very hands on. I believe that being able to play a song from start to finish is key. Unfortunately, most guitar players only learn a few riffs here and there and don't maximize their potential.
Simplicity is the key concept to making this happen. Scales and theory should not be a complicated mathematical nightmare. You will be surprised on how easy to it is to apply fundamental theoretical concepts to real guitar playing!
I am a graduate of Atlanta Institute of Music class of 1996.
