I have been playing the guitar for over 10 years. I first learned from my father and have not put it down since. The first song I learned was Simple Man by Lynrd Skynrd. I then went on to learn my major chords, minor chords, and 7 chords. During this time, I learned bar and power chords as well. I developed a wide variety of genres to play and enjoy many different types of music. Read More

I am not interested in any student under 18 years old.  How about the student's PARENTS ? Also, I am not able to go to students' homes. I don't have a car. All my students (Guitar, Violin, mandolin), get a special 4 color chart (of my unique design), with every song/tune they learn. This guards against forgetting the tune in the future. For these students, with my lessons, they can learn 4 Christmas songs > Joy to the World, Deck the Halls, Silent Night, Jingle Bells. + 1 New Year's Eve song > Auld Lang Syne.I have been playing the guitar professionally for over 30 years.

For beginner students new to guitar I like to start off with "Berklee Basic Guitar" - Phase 1: Guitar Technique by William Leavitt. Once my students have a firm grasp on the fundamentals of basic music theory sight reading and position playing we can begin taking the necessary steps to prepare for recitals or other performances. I also encourage my students to practice not only the genres of music that they like to listen to but also other genres that they may be unfamiliar with to gain a sense of comfortability no matter what the future brings.
