A Broad Lesson Overview

I teach acoustic, electric, and classical guitar, bass, and every possible string instrument.

Lessons are customized to what it is you would like to learn on guitar.
Not everybody has the same goals, dreams, or ambitions, and we work on whatever it is we would like to work on.

There are many ways to becoming a superb guitar player: there is no particular wrong or right or better way.
All ways are equally valuable, and eventually, all lead to the same mastery.

The following list gives some idea of the vast possibilities offered in my guitar instruction.

The list goes on; there is no limit to the things you can learn about music and guitar under my teaching.
All Styles & Genres.

All musical styles: from classical to pop, rock, punk, funk, blues, hard rock, metal, fusion, world-ethnic, to jazz.

My students can bring in anything or any song they would like to learn in any style of music.
I have a huge library of guitar transcriptions in my studio.

If I don’t have the book or chart, it takes me less than a minute to find the accurate GuitarTabPro transcription to any song. If no transcription of the song you want to learn can be found, it takes me on average about 4-5 minutes the most to figure out guitar parts to entire songs note for note.
