About

I have been teaching all levels of guitar playing professionally since 2012.

There are 4 main types of issues guitarists face on their own, that I help solve:

1. Not knowing what to practice, or what to study next.

2. Not being able to hear chord changes / sound melodic on the guitar

3. Being limited in technique & creativity.

4. Not understanding the fundamentals of music theory / struggling to communicate artistic vision to others

In our lessons, I listen to your words & watch your playing to provide immediate action steps on how to correct and progress through any plateau. I believe in following a student’s natural curiosity while building structure to cover the fundamentals. My ultimate goal is for you to become a self-sufficient learner with a passion for improving your guitar playing.

With a caring instructor, watch yourself become 10x the guitarist you currently are, remove any doubt of your capabilities and start playing better immediately!

I offer 1:1 personalized guitar instruction online via Zoom. In addition to being able to record the session, My students also receive a curated, fully downloadable Google Drive lesson folder filled with Diagrams/Tabs/Notation + speedy answers to music questions throughout the week. *by starting lessons, you agree to not share or upload our lesson videos without expressed consent from me

    Forest is great at structuring lessons to your ability. Additionally, he is good at adjusting the lesson plans to what you need or want to do. I started with a base knowledge and ability a year ago and have been very pleased and surprised with my progress. I recommend him to anyone looking for the flexibility of virtual lessons.

    Forest has a targeted approach that emphasizes technical skills on the guitar while still keeping a focus on learning music and having fun. His lessons feel targeted to what I want to learn and he strikes a great balance between leading me (when I dont know where to go) and following my lead (when I do have a clear goal).
    Forests demeanor during lessons is both professional and personal, and the sessions reflect it. If youre willing to put in the work, this instructor will absolutely accelerate your progress.
