I teach a mix of fretboard knowledge, theory, ear training, and musicianship to help students of all ages be ready for the stage, the campfire and everywhere in between.
I enjoy giving people the shortcuts that took me years to figure out. Emphasis on swing tunes, traditional jazz, gypsy ryhthms (Ballads, waltzes, bossas, boleros, trad and gypsy pompes).
I will show you how to practice so lessons are scheduled when student is ready for the next step.
