    I have taken lessons with Jeff for many years. When I started, I knew a little bit, but couldnt finish a single song. Now, I play in a small band as lead guitar. Jeff has the knowledge and experience to help me in every aspect of my playing. He is always ready to help with theory, technique, or tips that help my playing. I highly recommend Jeff.

    Frequently asked questions

    For Beginner Guitar Lessons

    For beginner guitar students, we'll focus on laying a strong foundation, including exercises to build finger strength and coordination, mastering basic chords and scales, and learning to read tablature. You'll also receive an introduction to music theory and guidance on developing good practice habits and discipline.

    For Intermediate and Advanced Guitar Lessons

    If you're an intermediate or advanced guitarist, I'll evaluate your current skill level and formulate a lesson plan to further enhance your abilities.
