What gets me up in the morning and keeps me up at night? Music. Private instructors, fellow jammies (music collaborators) and the Berklee College of Music in Boston, all made me who I am as a teacher.

I let the student drive the lessons if they have some experience. If they like Led Zeppelin then I will find a way to use Zep licks and solos to teach them the basics of the instrument to the advanced understandings of solos. For beginner students I always start with basic chords, chromatics, and ways to warm up. I often use the CAGE system when starting with beginners so they will get the basic chords and understand how they are applied all over the neck of the guitar. Read More
