Hello there, I have a degree in Guitar Performance from the Berklee College of Music, where I graduated in 2008.

I am offering guitar lessons in a range of styles (rock'n'roll, blues, fingerstyle folk, jazz), but have most enjoyed focusing my students on music theory. I have even worked with non-guitar students on a number of subjects, including: ear training, building chords/scales, voice leading, and compositional analysis. I also teach bass guitar and ukulele. I've gathered a wealth of knowledge that I know can benefit you. I'm acceptin

Children can start blues guitar lessons between the ages of 6 to 10 years old at the earliest. The best time is whenever they can hold the instrument easily and have the hand strength to press on the strings.

Adults of all ages can learn to play blues guitar with the right instruction and regular practice.

  • Check prices from 3 different teachers and ask what they'll teach you.
  • Read what others said about them on Google and on the Lessons website.
  • Ask for a list of other people they've taught to see if they're good.
  • For kids, ask other moms and dads what their kids say about the teacher.
  • Get a plan on paper about when your lessons will be before you start.
  • Pay a little at first to see if you like the teacher before you pay for a whole month.

  • Will you give me some finger patterns to practice at home?
  • How much should I practice at home between lessons?
  • What books should I get, and do you know where I could find used ones?
  • How many different blues guitar techniques can you teach?
  • If I'm struggling with learning, can you change the way you teach me?
  • What should I bring to class, and how long is each lesson?
  • Can I have a copy of our class plan, agreement, and how much it costs?
  • If I have an urgent problem and need to cancel, what happens?
  • Can I choose some songs that I want to learn?
