About
I can do lessons via messengr or skype. During lessons I can also take some video clips to send you for parts you need to work on.
I play rock, blues, metal, acoustic. I have studied theory, and have several years of playing and.teaching experience. Here's an example. https://youtu.be/rRv53HMj3N8
I have always been passionate about playing. My goal is to help you feel that you have accomplished your goals.
