** WHY STUDY GUITAR WITH ME? **



Guitar lessons alone will not make you a better musician, but lessons in conjunction with motivation, discipline and passion will. 
To really learn from the lessons, you need a great teacher, an experienced, accomplished, smart, engaging teacher who has all the resources and perspective required to help you reach your goals. 
I believe I'm uniquely qualified to be that person.

CREDENTIALS – With a degree in music, A long-time veteran of jazz, 
and Classical guitar, South American styles, rock, & blues,.

WHAT I TEACH - With over 40 years experience playing and teaching professionally, 
I offer fun, thoughtful, expert instruction to students of all levels. 

A deep knowledge of music and a mastery of the guitar allow me to meet any student's needs: from basic technique, songs and licks, to advanced areas such as jazz improvisation and soloing over chord changes, scale and chord theory, transcription,ear training and playing by ear*, and composition.
Beginners, amateurs and seasoned professionals are equally welcome. 



HOW I TEACH - My lessons are not just packed with information; they are interactive, playing-oriented, and highly-personalized and tailored to help you derive the most enjoyment possible from the guitar. 
While I can share with you a wealth of technical information, I emphasize an organic approach to expanding your musical knowledge, whereby you 'bite off' intellectually only that amount required to enable your ear and other musical instincts to take over the learning process. 

If you have the drive to improve your music skills and want to add the joy of creativity to your life, 
I will give you all the tools and inspiration you need to become the greatest musician you can be. 

I started playing because of the joy and solace the guitar gave me, I will show you how to get the most out of this wonderful instrument. That is my passion in life.

* With students serious about improvisation,
I offer my system of Playing by Hearing, which combines basic ear training--learning intervals by ear— and fretboard mastery--learning intervals on the fretboard.
This technique will give you the invaluable ability to play whatever you hear, thus transcending rigid scale and chord patterns and unleashing your true creative instincts. You will be amazed at the results!
