Elliot Pepper Guitar Lessons
About
My teaching approach:
I have played lead guitar in several local bands, and strongly advocate Paul Reed Smith guitars, both electric and acoustic. In fact most of the guitars I own are PRS's. My main influence is James Hetfield of Metallica, but I am well-versed in a variety of music styles. My teaching approach is tailored to the individual needs of my students-ranging from formal lessons to learning favorite songs.
My influences are:
Metallica, The Eagles, Stevie Ray Vaughn
My guitar lessons take place in:
The teacher's studio or the student's home

Monday through Saturday, from 4:30pm-7pm. Lessons are typically one half-hour in length, but some students prefer hour-long lessons.
Guitar Techniques:
Lead guitar, Open tuning, Improvisation, Jamming Skills, Scales and Exercises, Guidance In Equipment Selection

Playing guitar is fun, and I make sure you enjoy playing as much as I do by helping students building a solid understanding of the instrument and helping them learn songs they enjoy along the way.
