Introduction
🎸20 years as a guitarist in the U.S. Army 🎸B.A. in Jazz Guitar from Towson University 🎸State-of-the-art setup for online lessons 🎸Extensive work as an audio engineer As a guitar teacher, my goal is to make complicated musical tasks into an enjoyable activity. Drawing from my diverse experiences as a U.S. Army guitarist, where I played jazz, country, funk, rock, R&B, Dixieland, and more, I've developed the skills to tackle challenging music. Now, I'm eager to pass this knowledge onto you. Each student is unique, so I don't adhere to a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, I use your individual goals and interests to craft a customized learning plan tailored specifically for you. Here are some key principles that guide my teaching: **Customized Learning Plans:** I design lessons based on your interests and goals, no matter what genre of music you like. Personalized learning plans ensure that you stay motivated and engaged. **Practical Application:** Rather than simply teaching scales or chords, I show you how they are used in actual songs across different genres, demonstrating how theory can be applied to playing music. **Encourage Creativity:** I create an environment that fosters creativity by encouraging experimentation and improvisation. This not only enhances your musicality but also makes the learning process more enjoyable. I include specific exercises that promote creativity for any musical style. **Set Achievable Goals:** Breaking down long-term goals into smaller, achievable milestones is essential. Celebrating these milestones boosts your confidence and motivation and helps you stay focused on your musical journey. **Use Technology:** I integrate technology into lessons, using apps, online tools, and software to enhance your learning experience. This adds an interactive and dynamic element to our sessions. **Diversify Teaching Materials:** I use a diverse range of teaching materials, including sheet music, tablature, audio recordings, and videos to tailor lessons to your individual learning style. **Promote a Positive Learning Environment:** Learning a musical instrument can be challenging, so I create a positive and encouraging atmosphere. A supportive environment is key to your progress and enjoyment throughout the learning process. Whether you prefer in-person or online lessons, I will be your guide for your musical journey. I have an incredible setup for online lessons with four cameras: one for each hand, one for an overall view of the instructor, and one for sharing a book. I can easily share websites, videos, books, and music on the screen. My online setup has enabled me to teach students all over the U.S. and even overseas – in France, Germany, Spain, and Malaysia. For more information, watch my video “My Online Guitar Lesson Setup” (link below). Visit my YouTube channel “Tempee’s Guitar Channel” to view performance videos of me and my students. Bio. After attending Berklee College of Music, I joined the Army as a Guitarist. I served in the 82nd Airborne Division Band (North Carolina) and the 1st Infantry Division Band (Germany). While active duty, I played in a variety of bands all over the U.S. and Europe. After eight years on active duty, I served in the Maryland National Guard Band for 12 years. During that time, I earned two associate’s degrees (Music and Business), a certificate in audio engineering from Sheffield Institute for the Recording Arts, and completed the Army Advanced Musicianship course and Army Live Sound Reinforcement course. I earned a B.A. in Jazz Guitar Performance from Towson University in 2009. In addition to teaching and gigging, I worked as a recording engineer and a booking agent. The artists I have worked with include Benny Golson, Ron Carter, George Duke, Kool and the Gang, The Avett Brothers, Rachael Price (Lake Street Dive), Matt Nathanson, Jimmy Cliff, Rusted Root, Les Claypool, Juice Newton, Toni Tennille, Warren Wolf, Ellery Eskelin, and The Air Force Band.

About 10 years ago I was a soldier stationed in Bamberg, Germany, and through a friend's suggestion I bought a guitar and began trying to teach myself to play. After realizing that it was much harder than I had expected I decided that I needed some formal lessons. Luckily my barracks was right across the street from the barracks that the 1st Infantry Division band called home. After seeing him play one night at a local bar (and being blown away by his ability I might add) I learned that the guy playing the guitar was in the 1st ID band. I then decided that I would ask him to teach me guitar more in depth. Tempee told me right away that he would gladly give me lessons. When we began our sessions the thing that I was most impressed with was the fact that he was very interested in the level of ability that I possessed at the time, as well as the the musical style that I was interested in. His methods of teaching enabled me to gain an understanding of the instrument that to that point I had not yet had. Eventually, as is normal in the armed services, Tempee had to move on to another duty station but the things he taught me stuck with me. I eventually ended up playing guitar and singing professionally in two rock bands and to this day still have a passion for playing the guitar that I directly attribute to Tempee. The guitar is a lifelong journey and my Tempee Warmack set me along that path and showed me just how rewarding it could be. I owe him more than I can repay him.

Tempee is a true professional. I hired the right instructor. Knew nothing about guitar playing, but had always wanted to learn how to play the guitar. I've been taking classes for about 8 months now. It has not always been fun. It's real tough sometimes. Frustrating, etc..and the fact I don't practice much - or sometimes don't practive at all - does not help :) But Tempee has been with me every step along the way, and he cares about my success and the results I want to achieve. He knows how to help me achieve my goals. He pushes me hard sometimes, utilizing his "tough love" approach. Teaching is an art...It requires so many different skills. I'd encourage anyone wanting to learn how to play the guitar to seek Tempee's help. Again, he is a true professional!
