For over 25 years I have been teaching students of various skill level: hobbyists, music majors in college, and professional musicians, such as 4x Grammy Award winning artist D'Angelo. I offer Zoom/Skype lessons for students interested in improving their guitar playing and musicianship. Lessons are tailored to the student's goals and skill level, and I only teach material that has real world application. My approach is to focus on music fundamentals, build a strong foundation, and empower students to become their own teachers. 

Areas of focus

  • solo jazz guitar (chord melody)

  • music theory

  • jazz harmony-improvisation

  • rhythm guitar

  • arranging

  • blues guitar

  • sight reading

  • ear training

Please contact me by email to schedule/discuss lessons. I am happy to set up a phone call as well.
