LESSONS

Music lessons are not only fun and rewarding - they also grow your brain!

REMOTE LESSONS! LESSONS ARE CURRENTLY OVER ZOOM, AND AVAILABLE TO STUDENTS IN ANY LOCATION. ZOOM ENABLES US TO DISPLAY CHARTS, TABS, HANDOUTS, PLAY MUSIC, ETC. AND STUDENTS CAN LOG IN FROM ANYWHERE!

Guitar playing is FUN, and my teaching style is to find out what you want to play first, and mix formal concepts into your guitar or bass lessons.

LEARN:

• TECHNIQUE: the best techniques for you, so your playing sounds polished and competent!

• EAR TRAINING, so you can identify songs you like and figure out how to play them just by listening! 

• as much MUSIC THEORY as you want (from the bare minimum to the master class!)

• show to read CHORD DIAGRAM, TABLATURE (“TAB”), and optionally, standard music notation!

I teach most styles of guitar and bass except classical, flamenco & shredding.  Because of my background in bands, I can also teach you everything you need to know to play rhythm guitar, lead guitar, or bass guitar in a band.  Several of my graduates are currently in active bands!

Whatever excites you about guitar or bass is what you should be learning. I love teaching, and lessons are my chance to share my love of music with others. Get in touch and let's get started crafting your perfect music lessons!

To help structure your guitar lessons or bass lessons, I use the Progressive series of books as well as lots of handouts and two books I have written:
