About

My teaching approach:

These are your guitar lessons. I teach all styles and subjects you are interest in. In addition to private lessons I have also teach at The National Guitar Workshop, Guitar Intensives and The Center for Creative Youth. I also write lessons and essays for Taylor Guitars' Wood & Steel magazine. - All levels: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced. - All styles: Rock to Classical - Folk to Funk - Country to Jazz Experimental to Pop - You name it! - Theory, Composition, Songwriting, Notation and/or Tablature. - Soloing, songs, scales, chords, modes, improvisation, etc.

My influences are:

Leo Kottke, Angus Young, John McLaughlin, Frank Zappa, James Brown, Larry Coryell, Jimi Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen...basically all the greats and several unknowns.

My guitar lessons take place in:

Your first guitar lesson with me might include the following:

I recommend bringing a list of songs, guitarists and styles students are interested in learning. I give A LOT of handouts in tablature and standard notation.

A guitar lesson with me might entail the following:

My lessons are based on a lot of interactive playing, learning songs, learning the theory and musical concepts behind those songs. I make all lessons as practical as possible to give students tools and concepts for maximum versatility.

The qualities I look for in an ideal guitar student might include the following:

My ideal student knows what music he or she likes but also has an open mind. I teach ALL styles and the jazz guitarist can learn from country music, the metal player can learn from blues. An open mind!
