I strictly teach a practical and real world approach that quite frankly is not in any "textbooks" out there. I developed this approach through 25 years of playing professionally in a variety of genres (CCM/Worship, Pop, Country/Folk/Americana, etc.) and helping dozens of artists in those various genres as a music industry consultant. My method of guitar instruction is best suited for an individual who is interested in pursuing a career as a singer/songwriter regardless of the specific genre. Read More

I am primarily a guitar player from the Hudson Valley in New York, currently living in Nashville, TN. I also play and teach bass guitar! I have worked around the world on 3 different cruise ships; namely Carnival Dream, Princess Dawn and Celebrity Millennium. I have been teaching since around 2011, which is also when I began performing live. I went to Dutchess Community College and SUNY New Paltz universities, where I studied music (mostly jazz, classical, Latin/Brazilian and Metal/Rock) and ultimately graduated with a B.S. in Contemporary Music degree.

To see that same sense of acomplishment in others makes me happy because I know the lessons and skills learned are life long and invaluable. Read More

I've always found that my students who seem to have the most fun are the ones who progress the fastest, so my primary method is to approach lessons with material that students are interested in. I try to keep things fun and interesting by doing things such as incorporating a student's favorite music into a lesson. It's important for a student to practice regularly with discipline and focus. However based on my experience, nothing propels a student forward faster than the happiness and satisfaction gained from 'nailing' a new lick or figuring out a cool new trick. Read More

Watching a student discover a passion for music is one of the most rewarding experiences I know. Therefore, it is important that the lessons be tailored to match each student's learning style and musical identity. I do this by setting goals that are realistic for each student's pace and finding out where each student's musical inspiration lies. While the fundamentals must be learned by all students, this inspiration will determine what areas of music will be most rewarding to them. Read More
