An Organic And Efficient Approach

"Pickin' six strings can be a lifetime of pure enjoyment and satisfaction.  Having the right guidance can make all the difference as you navigate this vast world." 

My mission is to pass along this unique skill with a proven and practical method.  I'm a lifelong musician and a proud alumni of Berklee College of Music. A 20yr teacher, I ran a successful private instruction business in the competitive Southern California market and have since turned it into a thriving online studio. I work with students of all types and am happy to help you realize your goals!   

Private LessonS

Contact me anytime for one on one private lessons over Zoom. Students are provided PDF's of all my instructional material like tunes, chord charts, concepts etc. You will also receive a personalized HW from each lesson to keep everything on track. My curriculum goes from 1st day beginners all the way up to advanced playing, however each player's needs are different.  So I tailor my instruction to best serve the individual.

Too often the approach to learning music can be a long slog that doesn't always add up.  Musicians can fall into a trap of just memorizing songs and chords instead of concepts.  It eventually becomes unsustainable and it's not as much fun.  I'm here to show you how professional musicians look at music and demystify what's going on.  You'll start to feel like a real player and your satisfaction will skyrocket.   

Let's get playing.
