About

My teaching approach:

All lessons are based on each student’s individual needs. Rusty likes to teach what he calls musicianship; musicianship consists of music theory and technique. Theory teaches you the understanding of how chords, scales, melody and harmony work and technique gives you the physical ability to take the music in your creative mind to your instrument. You could be a musical genius but if you don’t have the physical ability to unlock it no one will ever know. So what are you waiting for schedule your lesson today.

My influences are:

Rhoads, Malmsteen, Gilbert, Becker, Holdsworth, Gambale, Chopin, Paganini, Liszt, Alkan,, Lane,

My guitar lessons take place in:

Rusty has his own and unique approach to teaching that is very understandable and interesting. He can help you out with literally anything you want and is on of the most kind and humble people in the industry. I can recommend lessons with Rusty to everyone and can’t say enough good things about him.

Rusty was able to teach technique from beginner to advanced with clarity. His lessons allowed me to have as much runway ahead of me as possible (provided I put in the necessary work). At no point should any of his students be concerned they might outgrow him as a teacher. We covered all the essentials (alternate, sweep, legato, tapping, etc.) in-depth and touched on chicken-picking. He taught technique through a mix of drills and licks/riffs that struck a balance between building skill and being fun to practice. Rusty was also able to teach more advanced music theory to supplement his exercise (covering diatonic modes, chord substitution, etc.)

If youre just getting started playing guitar, you absolutely cant go wrong with Rustys guidance. The best thing you can do for your playing is to establish a firm foundation in technique for your hands, music theory for your mind, and musicality for your ear. Rustys method covers all of these areas. Youll know what to play, how to play it, and why its played that way.
Its the foundation I wish I would have had when I started.
On the other hand, if youre not a beginner but someone whos been stuck in a 10-year rut like I was, Rustys great for that as well.
Ive been a basic box 1 pentatonic player for as long as I can remember. Rusty has helped me to break outside of the pentatonic box and increase my fretboard visualization and knowledge.
Im still working to be where I want to be, but I think Ive made more progress in the last 6 months than I did in the previous five years before.
Whether you want to improve your physical technique, your music theory, or your ear / harmonic knowledge, Id definitely recommend Rusty as an instructor.
