About

My teaching approach:

Structured lessons designed for the individual student. Everyone learns at a different pace. Learning to read music is essential to mastering your instrument. Theory is universal between instruments, and helps you break out of your unique mold of musical taste. Most musicians hit a wall, and without the knowledge of how to read music, you will find yourself spending weeks or months on songs or riffs trying to just work out the theory and technique. If you build a strong foundation of music notation and proper technique, you'll breeze through any challenge.

My influences are:

Larry Mumford - Phenomenal guitar instructor, and was my primary teacher growing up.

My guitar lessons take place in:

The teacher's studio

Guitar Lessons with me take place in the following areas:

Bakersfield, CA - California Keyboards - 100 Oak Street

Guitar Techniques:

Scales and Exercises, Music Theory, Reading Music, Improvisation, Performance, Fingerstyle, Open tuning, Lead guitar, Rhythm guitar

Your first guitar lesson with me might include the following:

An introduction to the essential parts of the guitar, and number identification of both the frets and the strings. We will work our way down from the thinnest (e) string all the way down to the thickest (E) as what notes on the music staff relates to which fret on the guitar fretboard. This quickly translates into chord shapes and tones.

A guitar lesson with me might entail the following:

Beginners start with a basic and comprehensive guitar book that caters towards learning to read music and apply it to the fretboard. It quickly develops into chord structures and scale building techniques that quickly evolve into solo styles and chords voicing. Your lessons will constantly push you to becoming the best musician you can be.

The qualities I look for in an ideal guitar student might include the following:

Someone who is willing to practice daily to achieve the goal they set out to accomplish. I will push them to their limit, but only they can control how much they practice what we learn.
