About this pro
So, what are lessons like?Thorough. Relaxed. A Riot. Interactive. Explorative. Snazzy. Shreddy. Rad.
I've worked one-on-one with hundreds of people, young and old, and I've instructed just as many university-level undergrad students in jazz improvisation, classical guitar, music theory, and composition. Like them, you'll be working with a 'mentor'-minded chap with a wicked wit who truly digs sharing the guitar with you. Regardless of how wonderfully your teacher plays, it doesn't mean a thing if they can't effectively explain and demonstrate, and adapt, if necessary. Isn't that the guy you want in your corner?! Gotta be able to relate, son!
Your lesson is also an hour, for several reasons. First, experience tells me 30 minutes isn't enough time to really delve into what we need to. Also, a big part of my style derives simply from hanging out with you and learning how best to teach you.

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Every first lesson is unique! We all learn differently, and this is a chance for me to see where you are musically. If you're a brand-new guitarist (and congratulations!), I'll start you with basics, with an eye on how to get you playing music you want to learn, too. If you've got experience with guitar, we'll discover what's working and what's not, and we'll go from there!
