About

I have been an internationally touring guitarist and drummer for over ten years. In that time, I've played well over 1,000 shows and bring this experience to my students. I play most styles, both acoustic and electric, but have a particular focus on finger-style guitar. I am a very personalized teacher. I approach students as individuals and craft my lesson plans based on what excites them about music. I particularly enjoy seeing people reach their goals. Whether it be a performing a new song, or getting a scale under their fingers, watching my students progress is very gratifying.

I really like Zak's teaching style. He's very easy-going and patient, and has an encyclopedic knowledge of music theory and guitar. Playing music is something that brings him joy, and that feeling that playing guitar is an awesome, joyful thing clearly comes across in his lessons.

Zak is a great teacher! He senses what the needs are and obstacles to progress and offers strategies to overcome them. He balances theory and technique with more instinctive playing. He can teach many genres.
