Guitar Lessons

Private lessons will advance you further and faster than anything else you can do - regardless of your current skill level. Imagine hearing a song for the first time and instantly playing along with it. Imagine understanding songs, not just memorizing a series of notes and chords. Imagine creating your own songs, improvising,  and soloing with ease. That is what it means to really play the guitar - a goal that is much easier to reach than you think, but sadly few guitarists receive the proper instruction to achieve it.

My mission is to help you master the guitar as a true musician. You won’t just learn how to play a song or solo over a progression. You will learn what makes the song work, how to manipulate it, add to it, change it, and mold it into anything you desire. 

I teach students that range from absolute beginners to advanced guitarists and provide each of them with the same attention and dedication - assessing the areas that need work and patiently guiding them through the process to reach their goals. But don’t just take my word for it - read what my students are saying in their reviews. Then contact me and let's get started helping you reach your musical goals.
