Don Sanni Guitar Lessons

My teaching approach:

My approach as a teacher is to not only show someone how to play guitar, but to turn them into a musician. By understanding music, learning, improving, and expanding as a player never ends, even after lessons have. Being that I've played over 1000 performances ranging from rock to classical, this is what has allowed me to improve and adapt to different styles, even after over 30 of playing.

My influences are:

Electric - Mark Knopfler, Eddie Van Halen, David Gilmore, BB King, SRV, Steve Morse, Alan Holdsworth, southern rock players. Acoustic - Alex DeGrasse, Chet Atkins, Martin Simpson, Ed Gerhard, Harvey Reid, David Surette, Segovia, Julian Bream.

The qualities I look for in an ideal guitar student might include the following:
