    Frequently asked questions

    I like to spend a few min and see what they are trying to achieve , how they hold the guitar and can position their fingers and if they are comfortable with it. Then talk about the kind of music they want to play , the style of music, and songs they like to learn, and set goals to help them achieve what they expect from me. I've taught many and some it just comes natural and others it was harder because of their ability to hold the instrument, play chords , notes , scales etc. If your not able to provide a guitar to play then I will be happy to provide one until you do .
    I took Music appreciation and music theory in school and have over 50 plus years being a musician and yrs of teaching . I've played many private outings, some public events, and family and friends Get to get togethers for many occasions. I've been in bands from high school up until my late 40's , still play out occasionally, write new songs . Studied locally at Music and in San Diego while in High School there.  Played from Maine to Key west , Mid west , and local . Hope that gives you an idea of my experience and love for music.
