I love seeing my students gain passion and find success when they learn a riff or a chord, because I know how I felt when I did it. It inspires you to learn more.

I want to know what inspires the student and what they want to play. Read More

I am classically trained with a secondary in jazz guitar. I have exceptional technique and use it for all styles of music. This is how my students climb the ladder faster than others.

I have extreme patience (been doing this for 20 years!) and will never make you feel dejected. Read More
