    Anthony has a very personable demeanor and is very invested in you learning the guitar. His lessons are very informative and he’s always open to taking it in the direction of your choosing. He also leaves you practice material so that youre always engaged. If you put in the work you can truly improve your playing with Anthony’s guidance. I could not be more pleased with his professionalism and candor and recommend him to all players regardless of their skill level.

    Anthony is an amazing instructor! Ive been taking lessons with him for the last six months and I dont plan on stopping any time soon. Hes a very relaxed teacher, so I feel like Im learning a lot, but Im not stressed if I dont pick something up right away. He asks for songs that I want to play so that I can learn music that Im excited about. Very patient and flexible with my student schedule, I would absolutely recommend him to a friend, or anyone, looking to take guitar lessons.

    Frequently asked questions

    I ask them what style of music they are interested in. I review the parts of the guitar, how to hold a pick, read a chord chart, music terminology. I give them a practice schedule With specific areas and a time table for each area.

    I have studied with Horace Hackett who played with The Jimmy Dorsey band, Red Nichols, Ted Fio Rico. He was a CBS studio musician. He taught many styles of guitar, including chord melody.

    I studied with Rusty Anderson, who is Paul McCartney guitar player. Topics we covered included scales, improvisation, chord substitution, to name a few.

    My rates are $25.00 for a 30 minute lesson and $50.00 for a 60 minute lesson.

    I started in 1984 at a music store in Placentia called Instant Guitar. I was the only electric and bass instructor at this store.

    I work with beginners through advanced students. My students range in age from 10 to 60 years.

    One of my current adult students just recently succeeded in being able to execute a Bachman Turner Overdrive song. This is his favorite bands of all time. It was such a great feeling watching him play the song with confidence and great execution!

    Always ask questions to make sure your comfortable with your understanding of what it is your practicing. If you are feeling like you don’t quite get what’s being explained, tell that individual to slow down and take it one step at a time.

    What excites me about guitar? What do I want to be able to do? Is it your goal to play a particular song, or to be able to jam with friends, play in a band? Is there a particular style of guitar you like? These are a good point of reference you can ask your teacher.
