For beginning and intermediate guitar students, I typically use Hal Leonard's Guitar Method Complete Edition by Will Schmid and Greg Koch. This book will cover technique, music notation, theory, repertoire, fingerboard knowledge and music fundamentals. It works for children and adults. For beginning students who are learning classical guitar, I use the Aaron Shearer's method which includes detailed lessons on theory, form, fingering, technique, sight-reading, and etc. Nevertheless, I usually use many other books for guitar lessons since I always take into consideration the needs and goals of my students.

Other than playing I love to share music and what I've learned with people of all ages.

I love helping people learn to do things they thought they never could. My view is - Music as a craft should not be a competition, it's not about being better than someone else, we're all in this world together and we can all learn from each other. Read More
