Jared K. says, "Tim is a fantastic guitar teacher and I have been lucky enough to start my guitar journey off on the right foot thanks to him. I reached out to Tim as a complete beginner to playing an instrument and Tim was great at getting me comfortable with the guitar and being able to use and play it. He crafts his lessons based on the music you enjoy and your end goal with the instrument. He's kind, thoughtful and consistent in his teaching and makes for a great tutor. If it wasn’t for my cross country move, I would still be visiting him every weekend for my lessons. Tim has been a wonderful guide on my guitar journey and has become an even more wonderful friend!"See more

With 20 years of experience playing guitar and studying music theory, I bring both technical skill and musical insight to every lesson and performance. I have trained in multiple styles, from rock, jazz fusions, pop, contemporary, and classical environments allowing me to tailor lessons to each student’s goals and interests. In addition to guitar, I have experience with and studied, bass guitar, piano, drum kit, and other orchestral instruments. I attended McNally Smith College of Music in Minneapolis for music composition and was accepted into Berklee College of Music in Boston, further honing my understanding of music theory and creative expression. I am currently an airline pilot and instructor teaching jet aircraft systems/procedures, bringing a disciplined, structured approach to all my instruction while keeping it engaging and accessible. Guitar Influences: (not limited to) Allan Holdsworth, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Shawn Lane, Greg Howe, Eric Johnson, Plini, Paul Gilbert, Van Halen, Steve Lukather, Pat Metheny, Jimi Hendrix, Yvette Young, Jakub ZyteckiSee more

Hayley B. says, "I've been playing the guitar for over 10 years but I only knew how to play by ear and didn't really understand any theory or how to find new sounds on the fret board. In one lesson, Nate explained the CAGED method to me and completely changed the way I looked at and played the guitar. He truly knows his stuff and teaches in a way that is super clear and easy to understand."See more
