Private Guitar Lessons

For a free, no-obligation private lesson, contact me here. You will see for yourself the ability that I have to offer you. You wouldn’t take a car for a test drive without seeing it, why should lessons be any different?

What the students are saying about private lessons:

I have some questions for you:

  • Do you often get frustrated with a lack of progress on guitar?
  • Do you ever feel left out because you couldn’t play?
  • Are tired of being under-appreciated by other musicians?
  • Do you have difficulties writing songs and expressing yourself?
  • Are you having problems freely improvising guitar solos?
  • Are you often overwhelmed and simply don’t know what to do next?

If you answered yes to some of these questions… You’re not alone. I’ve been there, and it’s bad. It’s frustrating. It doesn’t feel right. In fact, it sucks. It doesn’t have to be that way. You can choose to feel GOOD by finding a solution, and then some:

Here is a small sample of where you can benefit by taking private one-on-one lessons:

  • You learn in minutes what could take you hours, weeks, or years to figure out on your own.
  • You don’t waste your life on a trial and error approach.
  • You’re coached, trained, and motivated to your full potential.
  • You’re educated on 300 years of music theory instead of spending a life to reinvent the wheel.
  • You come across more industry opportunities.
  • You overcome elusive obstacles that are invisible to you on both musical and non-musical topics.
  • You have FUN learning a difficult challenge.

You Get Directed Towards What You Want:

As your personal one-on-one teacher, I create a strategy for you. This is a thought out plan that’s designed for you to reach your goals in the shortest, easiest, and quickest way possible. It’s the bird’s eye view of the big picture of what you must learn to be successful.

You Know What You Should Be Practicing.

In a recent study, one-third of intermediate to advanced guitar players’ number one frustration was the lack of time to practice. Imagine if you had your daily practice schedule laid out for you, and all you had to do was practice it and be confident that it’s going to make you the musician you want to be.

Here’s an example of one of my weekly practice schedules:

A Sample of Musical Skills That Can Be Yours:

Since the lessons are built after your guitar playing abilities, custom fitted for YOU to get RESULTS: It would not make sense to prescribe you into a program.

If you’re a self-thought player, chances are you ran into the following:

  • The linear lessons, books, videos, or DVDs where not designed for you. They did not make you a balanced artist by increasing your strengths and eliminating your weaknesses.
  • You had no idea where to go next because you can’t see the overall map, or strategy.

I can’t tell you exactly what we’re going to be studying, or what the first lesson is going to be. Here is a short list of topics found in the arsenal of a well-rounded artist:

If You’re Not a Beginner:

If you’re a more advanced student and wish to specialize in a niche that I don’t teach, contact me and I will refer you to a virtuoso in that niche. Examples of this include chicken picking, Jazz chords, and Hip Hop.

  • I do not teach advanced country style playing.
  • I do not teach advanced Jazz chord harmonization.

My greatest teaching strengths are:

  • Making beginner lessons simple, easy, fun, and entertaining.
  • Advanced lead guitar soloing, Neo-Classical and Shred.
  • All Rock based genres, full band and instrumental.
  • Teaching styles from 93x, 101.7, KS95
