Overview:
Hi there! I'm a rock recording artist doing music full time for 12 years from opening for national artists, playing solo gigs to recording artists here in Upstate NY. I'm easy going and like to teach the "real world" way of learning acoustic or electric guitar. If your looking for classically book training, I'm not the guy to go to but I do hit on some of those core ideas. Currently at my home studio in a smoke free - pet free - alcohol free zone or online via skype or zoom. Throughout my life working with various industry producers and members of signed acts, I've learned so much with experience. I'm personally big with studying how people play with my eyes and then learning by hear for the feel. It's the passion that starts first as I say and that I want to pass along to students hungry to learn. Practice is key for anyone and I recommend at least 20-30mins a day up to 3 hours. I hope I can be a positive inspiration with someone who is following their dreams. I've taken some lessons when I was younger and a bit of college school courses. I've been playing for over 19 years now with acoustic guitar, electric, bass, drums and singing.
EXPERIENCE
BIO: Frank Palangi is an indie rock recording artist millennial homegrown in Upstate New York. He reignites the fuel on the genre that refuses to die. His gravelly, deep n gritty, vibrato voice delivers across a room with a charismatic charm. Whether it's an raw unplugged acoustic set or the full drive of the electric guitar, it's imprinted in his veins to rock with passion. Recording his first demos at the age of 15 and then playing music full time leading to his 1st EP release coming back from the studios in Nashville, his positive outlook on life is one of you don't just give up & you stay on it however long it takes. His mission statement is "I have no plan b in backing down on my dreams." Finding the passion for music and production from the age of 13, he self taught guitar, bass, drums, recording, mixing with a style that tips the hat on the past 30 year evolution of the 80s & 90s rock & post grunge movement mixed with the taste of heavy metal. "I was a shy kid with health issues growing up so no sports and I turned to creative outlets instead. Learning from those past decades I wasn't going for the typical drinking, smashing hotel rooms as the rocker lifestyle is known for. It could be more about the music, the fans, and the drive to grow that draws you in and of course that rock n roll rebel yell feeling to stand up for yourself ." -FP
METHODS USED
The "Modern World" style as I call it. Things that will help with live shows & recording. Chords - Progressions - Riffs - Scales - Songs - Basic Theory - Tabs - Alternative Fingerings, Drop Tuning, Warm ups - which can branch out into song writing and recording techniques. I start out with the basics then focus on switching - getting your fingers moving/stretching - getting them ready for scales and riffs. Chord progessions and techniques of picking and strumming along with understanding timing/tempo and attention to movement. I don't teach much traditional guitar musical notes with staff reading (some if needbe). Guitar Tabs is the writing style I use for easy exercises. For advanced beginners to intermediate I can proceed with what you need help with by hearing your goals and what you'd like to cover and work on.
LESSON STYLE
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Each student progresses at his or her own pace and there is nothin wrong with that. Going over somethin again and really focusing in on it is not a bad thing. Focus is also key with a student. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. I stay personable and positive with my lessons and inspired by a recording type studio environment. Thank you very much. Hope to hear from you. - Teaching from online or home since 2018 from 7 years old students up to 65 years of age. - 6 Months teaching at North Country Guitar (Queensbury, NY - 2019) - TuneLark.com Teacher (2022) Gradulated from Queensbury High School with some college from Sunny Adirondack & 1 year Boces training & currently Rock Guitar Certication at Berklee College of Music.

I've been taking lessons for several months now and Frank has helped me improve SO much. I started off knowing nothing and his teaching (along with practicing) has made me want to keep playing every day and to keep getting better. Can't recommend him enough!

Frank has been very patient and a positive influence for my son, who is 11 and has multiple learning disabilities. He has also helped me find a good starter guitar and amp for him. Highly recommend him for all levels.

I’ve been taking lessons on and off for over a year. I knew nothing about the guitar when I started. Frank is very patient with everything, even when I didn’t practice much. He’s a great instructor for beginners, but also for any level. I would highly recommend taking them from him.

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
