Everybody learns differently and at different paces, and I prefer to cater to those individual styles. The one thing I find both rewarding and beneficial is to learn (or work on) at least one new song or lick for each session. I also encourage the students to keep a journal of songs and licks, just to help visualize and remember all that they have learned. The most important thing is that the student continues to grow in their passion for music! Read More

I have taught private lessons at the local Music store "Music Machine" in Kennewick, WA. also In-home lessons, on-line lessons and lessons in my Studio in Richland, WA. Some students like the structure of an "official studio" or "lesson room"; others are more comfortable in their own living room, or simply sitting at a computer. "What ever works for you" .. is my motto. As long as we are free from distractions, we are able to make progress during the lesson, so you as a student are getting a quality lesson. Read More

I can also tie in keys to scales which will help you to be able to solo to and improvise over music. I can also teach theory so that you have the understanding of what you are learning, which can help translate into further learning on the guitar. The learning sequence could look something like: learning the fretboard and some basic playing exercises, learning major and minor chords, learning scales and theory of scales and how this relates to playing in different keys, from scales learning triads and how from the scale chords are constructed, being able to see the chords of a song or to hear it and be able to determine what key it's in and therefore how you can play with or over it, then learning pentatonic scales which can be a method of soloing, and finally chord substitution and reharmonization.
