Matt Baldoni Guitar Lessons

My teaching approach:

I design a specific program for every student's personal needs and goals. Ideally, I want to foster a drive to perform in front of people, but mainly, I feel that keeping my beloved artform alive and passing it along is most important

My influences are:

The usual suspects: Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jeff Beck. But I have one degree in classical guitar and another in jazz. I have influences in every style.

My guitar lessons take place in:

The teacher's studio or the student's home

Guitar Lessons with me take place in the following areas:

West Las Vegas, Summerlin, Southwest, Southern Highlands

Guitar Techniques:

Scales and Exercises, Song Writing, Guidance In Equipment Selection, Vocal Accompaniment, Performance, Improvisation, Jamming Skills, Reading Music, Music Theory, Rhythm guitar, Open tuning, Fingerstyle, Slide Guitar, Lead guitar

Your first guitar lesson with me might include the following:

I let the student and their family speak first about what their specific goals are. It could range from "just for fun" to a conservatory audition. I have programs for all of these.

A guitar lesson with me might entail the following:

It would begin first with tuning, always. Review of previous lesson material would then take place, some jam time and free improvisation on said material, followed by introduction of new material, handout of more written materials, and a nice conclusion.

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

My ideal guitar student is one who is as passionate about getting better as I am, and wants to remain a student forever like I do. My ideal student is one who dreams of becoming a professional.
