I teach all styles except classical and flamenco.  I love teaching, and
    lessons are my chance to share my love of music with others.

    Guitar playing is FUN, and my teaching style is to find what you want to
    play, and inject necessary concepts into the fun process of learning it.  To
    that I can add as much more music theory as you care to learn.  I  teach
    the best techniques so your playing will sound polished and competent.

    Because of my background in bands, I can teach you everything you need
    to know to play rhythm, lead, or bass in a band.

    Though we often start with learning to read chord diagrams and tab (even
    standard music, if you want), my goal is usually to use ear training and
    theory to enable you to hear a song you like, and figure out how to play it
    by ear.  I have a library of over 2000 tunes we can draw from, or you can
    bring in a thumbdrive or CD of songs you want to learn.
