Lead Guitar - Austin Texas Church Worship Team - 2023

Overview:
I’ve been passionate about music and guitar since I was a young teenager. At 13, I picked up my older brother’s Squier Strat—a reliable “Toyota Corolla” of guitars—and quickly surpassed his skills, which led him to step away from playing. That early success fueled my love for the instrument, and I later upgraded to an Epiphone Les Paul, drawn to its rich tone. As a shy and self-conscious teen, I initially kept my music private, hesitant to share it with others. With encouragement from my brothers, I began to open up, even playing in a few worship group practice sessions, which helped me emerge from my shell. During college, my focus shifted to pursuing a corporate career, and for two years, I set aside creating music, though my love for listening to it never faded. After college, my passion for guitar reignited, leading me to incredible opportunities. I’ve had the privilege of playing in professional music studios in Austin, Texas, where I honed my skills in vibrant, creative environments. I also performed at Downtown Sounds in Northampton, MA, immersing myself in its inspiring music scene. These experiences deepened my connection to classic rock and reinforced my commitment to mastering the guitar.
EXPERIENCE

In Boston, I played lead guitar in a corporate cover band. Imagine being on the 50th floor of the Prudential Tower in Boston and having a corporate get-together. We had keys, bass, 3 guitars, and a drum set. We called ourselves ”The Consultones” because we worked in actuarial consulting. We played classic rock and pop hits for corporate events. At a wedding I played alongside a cello and violin. Accompanying classical music pieces.

METHODS USED

Every lesson begins with play! Learning is easiest when fun. My lesson plans typically follow helping the student develop a practice routine. This is customized to their needs. Then I help evaluate their progress -- perhaps they are learning a new song. Listening to what the student plays is important! We play together as if their are melodies. Much of my teaching is mental coaching to boost confidence so that the student can focus on the emotion and feel of the music. Find a comfortable posture and a place to study.

LESSON STYLE

The lesson concludes with an assignment. What will they focus on until next time. My students do exceptionally well! I give them a few items or techniques to practice. This could be tempo, theory, or a new piece of music to learn. Every session has a period of learning new music and practicing old music. My style of teaching is performance oriented to help the student to play the music that they desire to be able to play. We practice in the same environment and posture as the rehearsal will be.

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
