I spend time at the beginning of our first lesson getting to know about you and your goals.

By assigning content that is aligned with your interests and skill level, we can break down the song we're learning into lessons that encompass technique and theory. Read More

For beginning students, I always start with technique and posture, as improper technique can be catastrophic to your playing down the line. From there we'll cover the basics, such as chord shapes, strumming patterns, and scales. On top of that, each student will receive a "riff of the week", a guitar riff from a song that is in line with their particular music tastes. For example, if the student in question likes Punk Rock music, every week we'd go over a riff from a popular Punk song. Read More

I like to tailor my lessons towards the styles that the student is interested, while also teaching about music theory, reading, and any music history that is relevant to the students' interests. For rock and pop music, I find that there are a wealth of songbooks available. For students interested in classical guitar, I like using Christopher Parkening's guitar method; it contains a great deal of useful information and diagrams, as well as a great selection of beginner pieces.

When I was offered a gig as Billy Joe Royals guitarist it was back on the road. I've also done road work with such notables as The Classics IV and Archie Bell.

During this time I began to rekindle my love of teaching guitar and began accepting students again. Read More
