I started taking lessons from Jeff when I was a shy nine year old girl and he was always patient with me even if I got frustrated, and always taught me anything that I wanted to learn. He is a superb guitar player and teacher, as well as a superb and laid back person. I would never hesitate to recommend him to anyone!

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    Beginning Guitar Student: For someone just starting out, we’ll work on building a solid foundation for playing the guitar. Examples: exercises for building up finger strength and coordination, basic chords, scales and reading tablature. Also an introduction to music theory. We’ll also work on creating good habits and practice discipline. Intermediate/Advanced Guitarist: After evaluating, I’ll formulate a lesson plan to build on and improve the student’s skill level. Which includes: Music theory, technique, writing and composition. Also, Advanced soloing and the techniques involved, including improvisation.
