About
My students have been with me for several years. I teach Guitar, Bass, Recording & Music Production on FL Studio. A also cover everything from music theory to music composition and application. Classical, Neo-Classical, Jazz Fusion, All types of Metal, All Types of Rock, Acoustic, Blues, Hip-Hop, DubStep, Trap, Raegae, Melodic, Shred, Finger Style & just about any other style you can think of. I also give away a free copy of FL Studio 20.8 for new students licensed to me! ($899.00 value!) along with hundreds dollars worth of plug-ins! Yes, I'm dead serious! Just a perk for new sign ups! 👌🏼😁
I'm a professional ex-lead guitarist in the international touring Christian Power Metal band called "Theocracy" out of Atlanta, GA. I've been playing professionally for 12 years. Teaching for 16 years. Touring internationally & locally for 13 years. I've also DJ'd and produced music in the Atlanta EDM scene for several years and know my craft well. I've been around music of all types ever since I knew what music was. I love everything about it. Especially sharing knowledge of music theory, application, composition and how to utilize it with others! 👍🏼

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Finding out what the student knows about what they want to learn so far. Figuring out what level they're at on said subject of choice so we can start at the perfect place for progression & growth in the craft and where they want to take it directionally as far as progress is concerned!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been playing guitar professionally for 11 years with many genres. Teaching for 15 years. Playing in general for 19 years in total. I've toured dozens of countries worldwide internationally & locally with my signed band Theocracy as the lead guitarist since 2009! (Ulterium Records) 💿 💿 💿

How did you get started teaching?
I started learning music theory in 2006 and decided to share the knowledge with others! That took me down a path of teaching others and expanding my knowledge drastically in a lot of different ways, genres & instruments!
What types of students have you worked with?
All ages, genders and levels from everywhere in the world. Skype has its privileges! 😏
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I played a show on the main stage with my band Theocracy called Prog Power USA in Center Stage Atlanta (aka EarthLink Live!) It has been a long time dream of mine! It was an amazing show & I couldn't have asked for a better experience! 🤘🏼
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Make sure the teacher is a perfect fit for what you want to do and make sure you're not wasting the teachers time and is something you really want to do!
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Ask themselves what their ultimate goal is and where they want to be 6 months down the road with their music studies! What they want to get out of the lessons and what they are ultimately interested in!
