Introduction: I teach acoustic and electric guitar lessons for for students of all levels. I teach all styles, except classical. I also teach electric bass and recording/production. You can even hire me to produce or play guitar/bass on your song! I live in Los Angeles (Silverlake) and also teach remote lessons via Zoom or Facetime. Lessons are tailored to each student, so you learn what you want to learn. I graduated from the University of Denver with a degree in jazz and commercial (pop) music and an emphasis in guitar performance.

A good guitar instructor is worth their weight in gold. Paul is able to translate his abilities as a musician and instrumentalist to my level seemingly with ease and helps me lift myself higher with every lesson. Honestly, he could charge twice as much and still be worth it to me.

One lesson in and I’ve learned more about guitar than I have on my own in the past 2 years. If Paul sees you have something down he will move on to the next thing and not linger on stuff you already do well as to not waste your time. Well worth it!

Paul is absolutely amazing. He's a great teacher and a great person. He individualizes every lesson for every person. He has fun and truly enjoys playing and teaching. I've only been taking lessons for a few months and the difference is incredible. Is never picked up a guitar when I started and now I'm (almost) playing bar chords and finger picking with confidence. I can't imagine the amount of one he's spent listening to any song I asked and writing out the part just for me. I can not recommend him enough, if you want to work hard and learn not just what and how to play but the theory behind it all then this is the guy for you. He's smart and will give you an complete understanding of guitar and music theory which will allow you to excell at playing not just guitar, but any instrument you choose to pick up.

My husband and I hired Paul to teach our oldest son (13 years) guitar and we could not be happier with our decision. My son felt an instant connection and can't for his next lesson. :) He said, "Paul was patient and taught me what I wanted to know". Amazing!
