I will help you understand how the guitar works and the correct way to hold the instrument. I will teach you how to form and strum the most important chords and guide you with proper hand and finger placement. Together we will work on reading rhythm notation and guitar tablature.

The songs I teach are each carefully chosen for their value in introducing important chord progressions, unlocking various rhythmic patterns and solidifying left and right hand techniques.

My lessons are tailored to your personal needs and strive to explain music theory in simple terms. All of the song charts, transcriptions and theory lessons I share with students are my own personal creations, created with Guitar Pro 8 and other software. All musical materials are shared as .pdf files immediately after each session.

As your repertoire of songs grows and your strength increases, you are introduced to playing barre chords. Soon your lessons begin to focus on single-string picking, using the scales with which we play melodies, “riffs” and solos as lead guitarists. ALL important techniques are covered.

As a very experienced lead guitarist, I can help you develop and increase your technical ability and understanding of soloing. In-depth theory lessons cover the most useful scales and modes, harmony, advanced chord construction, arpeggios and harmonics.

With private lessons your progress is limited only by your level of commitment to personal practice time.

Even if you’re already a player there’s always something new to learn. Playing the same licks in every solo? Some folks have been playing for years, but feel “stuck in a rut”. If that describes YOU, getting some coaching from an experienced player will help you get back on the right track, kick-start your playing and help you get your ideas flowing.

Perhaps you are a songwriter, and need some help with your songs? Just ask. I have been involved with many successful original recording projects and would be happy to collaborate!

Here’s the way things work…
