I have been sharing my passion for my art gradually as soon as I ramped up my instrumental mastery. I have been specializing in guitar mentorship and tutorship for about 10 years now, and have had students from all over the world. I specialize in 2 types of students: - Entry-level students who are just getting started. Sometimes these students don't even own an instrument, sometimes they barely know what a guitar is made of. - Players with a few years of playing guitar abilities who stalled for various reason: not enough practice, not enough motivation, bad habits initially acquired that hindered their progressions. I play a large variety of genres, from blues to jazz, metal to flamenco, classical to folk, etc. I stress on acquiring good habits early on while adapting to the student-specific skills, or sometimes, limitations. Lastly, I only work with motivated students who are serious into achieving their goals.

I group all guitar skills in 3 different categories: - Chords - Arpeggios - Solos Then break all the unique intricacies and specificities based on the student interest and existing skill. Everything else depends on the student's favorite genre. My standard procedure is to pick 3 songs from a genre that the student wants to play, ordered by level of difficulty, and break them down into fragments that subsequently constitute the homework for the next sessions. My specialty is to make sure the student eventually becomes self-reliant and independent. I teach them the power of their ears. I teach them techniques to help them improve their ears to be able to play any song that they would like in the long term. A bit of theory involved, albeit mostly practice.
