** WHY STUDY GUITAR WITH ME? **



Guitar lessons alone will not make you a better musician, but lessons in conjunction with motivation, discipline and passion will. 
To really learn from the lessons, you need a great teacher, an experienced, accomplished, smart, engaging teacher who has all the resources and perspective required to help you reach your goals. 
I believe I'm uniquely qualified to be that person.

Beginners, amateurs and seasoned professionals are equally welcome. 



HOW I TEACH - My lessons are not just packed with information; they are interactive, playing-oriented, and highly-personalized and tailored to help you derive the most enjoyment possible from the guitar.

* With students serious about improvisation,
I offer my system of Playing by Hearing, which combines basic ear training--learning intervals by ear— and fretboard mastery--learning intervals on the fretboard. This technique will give you the invaluable ability to play whatever you hear, thus transcending rigid scale and chord patterns and unleashing your true creative instincts. You will be amazed at the results!
