About
Hi there!
My name is Samuel. I've been playing guitar for fifty years and teaching for over twenty years. I suggest starting with acoustic guitar as that allows an easier transition to electric guitar rather than the reverse, and also provides more flexibility for playing your instrument.
Although I specialize in gently encouraging lessons for beginners to facilitate the fun part, learning to play songs, l also work with more experienced players to explore new horizons.
While my repertoire is primarily the folk, folk-rock, protest, and classic rock of the 60’s and 70’s, l am committed to adapt my style to each individual and teach what interests my students.
I charge $50 per hour and $35 per half hour at my home and $65/$50 if l travel to you. I also offer online lessons.
In any case, l strongly recommend weekly hour long lessons so you can maximize progress while building on one lesson to the next.
Please feel free to contact me via text first at 657/480-6211 with any questions you may have. I’m excited to help you play songs that inspire YOU!
Peace and blessings,
Samuel
