Frequently asked questions

I figure out what you know, fill in the gaps, and then build on it.

3 years of Classical Guitar studies at Kansas City's Conservatory of Music. 7 Years of private lessons on Jazz Theory and Arranging with John Elliott. Thousands of recording sessions. Decades of performing experience - I estimate 8-10,000 gigs since the early '70's. I still play 2-4 gigs a week in addition to teaching 40-50 students a week.

$23.00 per 30-minute lesson. Payable by the month = $92.00 a month. If there are 5 weeks in a month I take one of them off.

I started my formal teaching career in the ealy '80's as a way to stay off the road, raise a family and yet still make a living with the guitar.

Name it. All ages, all genders, all ethnicities.

It's very gratifying to hear how significant my lessons were to someone's life and career. Check out the Testimonials page at MasterGuitarSchool.com.

Find out about the method. If all they do is teach you songs you're not really learning anything. I'll give you the tools and teach you how to use them so that you can figure out the song for yourself. Anyone can learn a song by rote. Study with me and you will UNDERSTAND the song.
