About
Why learn with me? Because I care, and because I have so much to offer. Custom Lesson Plans Recordings of your lessons E-Practice folder (diagrams, audio/video, exercises, etc.) Basics and Foundations Technique/Skill  Advanced Theory Fretboard Navigation Songwriting Recording Methods Equipment/Gear knowledge Continuous Student Support When I take on a new student I create a custom lesson plan tailored to you and your needs using a methodology I’ve developed over the years. Not only that, but I offer so much more outside of the lesson itself! Sadly I still hear stories of musicians being frustrated with progress or feeling discouraged to continue. Whether you’re just starting out, or you’re looking to break that plateau I am here to help!  HOW TO GET STARTED: Shoot me a message and we’ll set up a time to talk about your goals and answer any questions you have. Generally a 10m conversation helps us figure out the best steps to take! I’m quick to respond and I’m generally available to talk!  I look forward to hearing from you!

I signed up for guitar lessons. The sign up was amazing. I spoke to a guy who knew my favorite artist from his Cleveland days. Signed me up for an amazing program. I loved the first two lessons so much I just signed up for piano as well. If you want professionalism that also comes with an amazing online community and a chat line for your needs. Book with Stook. I’m I’m a fan!!!

Sam put me at ease about taking guitar lessons at my age. He paired me with an amazing teacher that fit my personality and music taste. I wish I would have done this much sooner. Fantastic experience with Sam

Working with Brandon has been great! The lessons are tailored to what I want to learn and have helped me expand my musical abilities. Not only have I learned guitar techniques, but also what makes music enjoyable, and how to make music myself!
