What could be cooler than learning how to play guitar?!

Even with only a handful of chords under your fingers, you can learn thousands of songs (really, it’s true)! Even if you feel like you don’t know what you are doing, the mere fact that you are holding a guitar instantly transforms you into a much cooler person. Trust me.

Why take lessons with me?
I can:
*Simplify difficult musical material for you and introduce you to new concepts in a non-intimidating way.
*Boost your confidence by fostering your strengths and showing you how to tackle your weaknesses.
*Motivate you with fun lesson materials that encourage growth and creativity.
*Expose you to diverse musical styles, songs, and techniques that will shake you out of those confounded grooves of predictability and banality.
*Help you craft your OWN distinctive “voice” and standout musical identity.
*Show how you how to structure your practice routine to make it enjoyable, balanced, and efficient.
*Train your EARS so that you can better hear melodies, chords, rhythms – one of the most crucial aspects of musical learning.
*Teach you SONGS! This way, you can play actual music for your friends and family, join a band or jam session, or record yourself! We can also work on arrangements of existing songs as well as original songwriting/composition.

How do Online Lessons work?

I will teach you privately via a Zoom or Skype video call and email you personalized PDF lesson plans after each Guitar Lesson. All you need is your guitar, a good internet connection, and your computer/phone/tablet to get started!
