About
Hi, my name is Arnie Vilches.
I have over 35 years of experience in the music business. I have traveled the world with several Grammy award winning artists as their lead guitarist.
I work with Lead vocalist Bobby Kimball of ToTo, Singer Songwriter Bill Champlin from the Band Chicago, Singer/Guitarist Mark Farner of Grand Funk Railroad to name a few.
I know what it takes to be a successful musician/artist.
I teach locally in the Huntington Beach CA area.
I also do online lessons via Zoom, FaceTime or Skype and have many students all across the country.
I tailor my lesson plan to exactly what you want to learn.
From Classical to Rock’n Roll I am an expert in many styles of music.
I provide all the material you need to learn how to play your instrument while making it interesting and fun.
No one is too young or too old to learn how to play music!
I have been playing guitar since I was 4 years old. Brought up in a musical family in Philadelphia, I quickly learned how to play a variety of string and percussion instruments.
At age 13 I started playing professionally as the lead guitarist/vocalist of my own rock band and continue to do so to this day. I’ve been in the music business for over 35 years.
I love music! Listening to it, playing it, watching the reaction of people who listen. I love to share the gift with everyone. Especially those who want to learn how to do what I do.
