My way of teaching is a very intuitive one, I listen to what my students say they want to learn, what they're interested in musically and go in that direction.. all the while focusing on the fundamentals of guitar, such as good techniques in body & hand position, strumming & picking and proper fretboard fingering. I believe in getting the best sound out of whichever note or chord you play, so good technique is always part of that process. One of my best attributes is patience and not judging my students in a personal way at all. They trust me and know I'm in their corner, so they make progress at their pace. I have a lot of respect for each...

I was an original member of the Broadway show Beatlemania. I elected to go my own route. I was a staff songwriter in Los Angeles at A&M Records. I have vast experience. I'll teach you how to play music, what's important to know to be able to play. I won't bog you down with theory, I'll get you to be able to play at a fast clip. Needless to say I do not only know Beatles songs, but they are great to know in the pop genre. If you know the Beatles music you'll be able to play in any genre of popular music. I've also done a lot of session work. ( I did one session with the Wrecking Crew ) On the rare occasion you get a student that has the natura...

Hi congratulations on your decision to take on guitar. I can honestly say that I have gotten more joy and sense of accomplishment since I started my guitar journey 10 yrs ago than any other endeavor I've I've ever taken up. , I'm advanced in guitar playing and theory. I believe both are necessary for a well rounded player to thrive although everyone has different learning styles which is why I try very hard to taper my teaching style to each student. I'm highly adaptable and easy going. For example I have always been able to learn through reading about a subject then applying what I've learned. However, I've had students who are much m

Hello, if you are looking for a guitar instructor that is easy going and chill, that's me. I've been in a few bands in which I co wrote most of the lyrics and music. I specialize in begginers because I have more fun with them. Intermediate to experienced players have more specific needs. I do this for fun! I am no virtuoso, I want to be clear about that. I'm not flashy, nor do I have an ego. I am very humble. I have taught many beginners and had fun doing it. I use a lesson plan which I ve put together that incorporates theory, technique and creativity. I'm looking forward to learning with you!

Are electric guitar lessons worth it?

Electric guitar lessons are worth it if you want to learn more at a faster pace, develop a better technique, and get customized instructions to improve your style. Only an experienced electric guitar player can understand how to help you improve, so don't settle for a general guitar instructor.

What age is good to start electric guitar lessons?

A good age for kids to start electric guitar lessons is from 6 to 10 years old. Another indication they're ready to learn is whenever they're physically able to hold the guitar and have the hand strength to press the strings.

Adults of all ages can also start electric guitar lessons at any time. With the right guidance and consistent practice, anyone can master the electric guitar.

How many lessons does it take to learn electric guitar?

The number of lessons it takes you to learn electric guitar depends on your goals and how much time you dedicate to practicing those epic solos. Playing a simple tune might take 2 to 6 months of weekly classes.

If you're aiming to rock out like a pro, expect a time investment of 4 to 10 years.

Are acoustic and electric guitar lessons the same?

Acoustic and electric guitar lessons aren't the same because these are two entirely different instruments with unique equipment features.

Learning to play electric guitar requires:

  • Knowing how to use an amplifier and pedals that create sound effects
  • Understanding how to adjust the speaker connection
  • Knowledge of genres like rock, metal, blues, and jazz
  • Special techniques like power chords, palm muting, and string bending

Learning to play an acoustic guitar means you focus on classical, folk, country, pop, or blues music. A pick is optional in acoustic lessons, and you don't need amplifiers or cables. Acoustic teachers also place more emphasis on fingerpicking patterns.
