My teaching experience began about 5 years ago, teaching guitar, piano, electric bass and recording techniques to children ages 6-18 at an overnight summer camp.

Instruments: Guitar, Bass Guitar

Although I and most guitar instructors feel that students should start on an acoustic guitar (the reason is proper right and left hand position) I do not turn electric guitar students away and am able to work well with them.
