Robert Caballero Guitar Lessons

My teaching approach:

I specialize in students of all ages and use an adaptive teaching style to carefully tailor lessons based on need, desires and current skill level of each student in a positive and encouraging environment. I began studying guitar over 18 years ago. In 2000 I enrolled at Berklee College of Music and graduated in the spring of 2003 with a degree in Professional Music. In the fall of the same year I relocated to Hollywood, CA. I played in numerous bands around Southern CA and recently, in the Burlington area, so I bring a unique insight for those seeking to become professional musicians.

My influences are:

Eric Clapton, Carlos Santana, David Gilmour, Jerry Garcia, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, John Mclaughlin, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker.
