Ive been playing guitar for over ten years, focusing primarily on J-pop music, which has been a huge source of inspiration for me.

I don't have much paid experience in teaching, however I've been helping my peers and family learn guitar since I was only 2 years into playing. Once I picked up guitar at 11 I rarely put it down, and there wasn't a longer window of a couple weeks where I wouldn't pick it up. (Even to this day).
