I have had various guitar teachers in my earlier days and have a very good understanding of what works for teaching students guitar.

Although the method books are important in guiding the students' progress and developing their technique, they are just a piece of the bigger picture. Read More

My teaching style is based on whatever the goals of my student are. If my student shows an interest in being able to play a particular piece, then we are working step by step to reach that goal by building up to it.
