Derek VanScoten Guitar Lessons
About
My teaching approach:
"if you can make music part of your social life, then it won't go away." As an up and coming string wizard, teacher and music producer in the New York City Music Scene private studio includes a dozen different types of electric and acoustic guitars, mandolins, a banjo, and a bass. His fluid command of his instruments and recording equipment allows him to build any students repertoire and technique with ease.
My influences are:
Jimi Hendrix, John Scofield, Tony Rice, Joni Mitchell, David Grisman, Solas, Robert Johnson, Radiohead, Arcade Fire, Dirty Projectors, Flying Lotus, James Brown, Motown, J Dilla, The Byrds, Marc Ribot, Bassnectar, RJD2, BB King and thousands more!
My guitar lessons take place in:
The teacher's studio or the student's home
