I started teaching private lessons on guitar and bass in the mid-1970's, after playing for about 10 years. If you want to learn to play, you have to practice.

I love showing people how fun music can be, and learning an instrument is the best way to do that.

My songs have been on multiple TV shows, tens of thousands of people stream my music every month, I produce music for other artists, and I also write blog posts geared toward helping my fellow musicians.

I always start with getting to know the student and identifying his or her goals. What is the objective? From there, we will map out how we are going to get to that point. Most students' goal is to learn songs, so we will begin by identifying what those songs are. I will then figure out what skills are needed to play those songs, and we will start learning those skills at the most basic level possible, gradually increasing complexity until you have the ability to put those skills together and start rocking out!
