I have taught many people to play guitar. They ranged from complete beginners who had never picked up a guitar to those with some experience, but wanted to learn more.

I do not believe in simply sitting someone down with a book to teach scales and chords. Playing guitar is about making music. Every person is different and has differing goals and abilities. So I will tailor your lessons to what you want to achieve.

What I'll teach:

  • Basics... tuning, re-stringing (if needed).
  • How music works... why and how notes work together to become chords. Some of it is theory, some of it is just what sounds good.
  • Technique... playing notes, strumming chords, fingerpicking, using a pick
  • Timing... a metronome can always help, but 'feeling' the timing is irreplaceable.
  • Reading music... whether it be standard music notation or guitar specific 'tablature,' knowing how to read music will benefit you for years to come.
