Guitar Lessons: Acoustic & Electric

Learn What You Want to Learn on Guitar

I teach awesome guitar lessons for adults and kids at any ability level: never-ever, beginning, some-experience, intermediate and advanced.

I help you learn what you want to learn: Songs you love. Techniques you're curious about. How to sing and play. Fingerpicking. Soloing. Advanced aspects of the guitar. Songwriting. And anything else your heart desires. You can learn on acoustic guitar and/or electric guitar.

I've been playing guitar for 40 years and teaching it for 22 years. I've performed, recorded and written with guitar. It's my go-to instrument. And I'd love to help you learn to play guitar or improve your current skills.

Don't have a guitar? During your free intro lesson, you are welcome to use one of my guitars, and we can talk about what guitar is best for your budget and goals. Contact me for free guitar buying advice.
