Riffs & Records

With over 25 years of guitar-playing experience, I bring not only technical skill but real-world musical insight that beginners and intermediate players can instantly benefit from. My teaching style is patient, practical, and personalized—I meet each student at their level, whether it’s their first time picking up a guitar or they’re ready to tackle more advanced riffs and techniques. I focus on making guitar fun and accessible, not intimidating. I break down complex concepts into simple, digestible lessons and help students build a solid foundation with rhythm, chords, tone, and technique. You’ll learn the “why” behind the notes—not just memorize them. Whether you want to strum your first song, jam with friends, or dive deeper into songwriting and soloing, I’ll help you get there with encouragement, accountability, and a few good laughs along the way. Hope to Rock with you, Mike
