About
I'm a performing guitarist in Dallas, TX with 8 years of experience teaching music. As a performer, I play jazz more often than not, but also have experience playing many other genres (including alternative/experimental rock, blues rock, progressive rock, 19th century classical, 20th century classical, and ambient music). Some of the musicians I have played with have ties to jazz legends like Thelonious Monk, Wayne Shorter, and Miles Davis.
What you'll get taking lessons with me: an extremely high level of expertise in all things related to music theory and technique on the guitar, a fun, easy-going vibe that lets you learn these things at your own pace so that you truly absorb them, and as a result, a newfound confidence in your own ability to express yourself on the instrument!
I offer guitar lessons for beginning, intermediate, and advanced players. I specialize in jazz, but can also teach a variety of other styles (seriously - metalhead? Indie rocker? Blues lover? Country music aficianado? Admirer of classical guitar? You name it - I've taught it). Feel free to take a look at the uploaded videos on my youtube channel or listen to my instagram clips for some examples of where I generally come from musically:
