Hello, my name is Eric. Lessons with me are learning fundamentals, reading music on the staff, and of course learning your favorite songs! I’ve been playing guitar for 25 years and took lots of lessons in that time. I developed my own way to approach the guitar, which I think could be more engaging for the student.

I'm an elderly professional musician of many years with much knowledge and experience to share on 'HOW TO PLAY GUITAR/BASS BY 'EAR'! No learning notes or writing down any 'theories'. I teach how to train your ear to pick out the songs you want to play! I add in 'technique' as well that will enhance a person's ability to make the learning experience a joy! My price is based on what my evaluation of a student's ability turns out to be! And it is LESS than most all others!

Alongside my academic education, I’ve performed in various bands as an electric guitarist and also have experience playing bass. Working with me is relaxed, supportive, and tailored to each student’s goals. Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to improve your technique, I focus on building a solid foundation while keeping lessons enjoyable and practical. I combine classical fundamentals (technique, posture, tone) with modern, real-world playing experience, so students get both
