I’ve only spoken to Damian on the phone and conversed via thumbtack about guitar lessons but I wanted to express just how knowledgeable and professional he was with me. He always responded promptly to all my calls and messages. I can’t wait to start working with him.

Damien is professional and courteous. He tailors lessons to the needs and abilities of the student. His range of musical knowledge and taste is exceptional. I always come away from my lesson with a challenge and greater appreciation of the craft.

I found Damien on this same site and it has been a true blessing. He explains in a way I can understand, and he is super patient as well as flexible...making the effort to answer all my questions even when I do not follow the lesson plan. (wink). I see my playing continually improving. I highly recommend him.

FAQs

• What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

  I am always trying to expand my pallet. I am keenly aware that there is always someone out there who plays better than I do, so I am still taking lessons from great musicians. I also try to find new and challenging situations either in the recording studio or live performances.

• How did you get started doing this type of work?

  I have been playing music since childhood and can not imagine a more fulfilling profession.

• What types of customers have you worked with?

  I take examples of songs that my students love and transcribe them. As I do this, I explain all of the theory that is required in order to play that song (scales, chords, rudiments, reading, beats, etc.).
