About
For over 20 years, I’ve helped students truly understand their instrument and enjoy the process of learning. Whether you’re new to guitar, bass, singing, or music theory, I focus on breaking down complex ideas into simple, clear steps that make sense and stick.
As a one-on-one instructor and recording professional, I tailor each lesson to your goals—whether that’s playing your favorite songs, improving your voice, or getting comfortable with audio production.
Please take a moment to watch the video in my profile to see my playing style. If what you hear matches where you want to go on the guitar, I’d be honored to help you get there.

I’ve taken two classes with Dyce so far, and honestly, I’ve progressed more in these two sessions than I ever imagined I could. He helped me skip what would have probably been weeks of slow progress on my own.
His teaching method is amazing — it’s very technical but at the same time super fun. He really understands what you need to improve and optimizes every class 100%. On top of that, he makes you look forward to the next class as soon as you finish the current one.
Highly recommend him to anyone who really wants to improve and enjoy the process.

I have recently started taking lessons with Dyce Kimura, and I'm very happy to have met him. I've taken different guitarlessons before and other instruments as well, but I've never clicked with any previous instructor as fast as I have with him. He is able to provide me with the information that I want and I need as well. I know for a fact that I'll grow as a musician the way I want to with him.

I owned a guitar for years and played some basic cords but never took it to the next level. Ive been taking lessons with Dyce for about a month now and I'm already noticing a whole new world of progression and potential. He is an incredible guitar instructor and I highly recommend him

My son really enjoys his guitarlessons with Dyce. He now practices regularly throughout each day so that he is ready for his next lesson with Dyce!! I am thrilled that we found him and would highly recommend him to others.
