Location: Manassas, Virginia (40 miles west of Washington, D.C.). I only teach online lessons.
Studio Intro. Video: Please take a look, below.
Experience:
Over 60 years playing and teaching the guitar. Member of numerous bands (blues, folk, rock, jazz). Singer/songwriter. Recording engineer.
Students: 26 and over: beginner through advanced.
Music genres: Folk, country, rock, blues, jazz.
Specialties: Various rhythm and lead guitar styles. Travis finger picking. Music theory. Songwriting.
Cost: A 30 minute lesson costs $35.00 (flat fee of $140.00 monthly). A 45 minute lesson costs $45.00 (flat fee of $180.00 monthly). So for those months with 5 lessons, the 5th lesson is free.
Over the years I have developed a teaching method which cuts through all the jargon and confusion and simplifies learning. I've arranged 175 songs (and counting) to include country, blues, rock, and jazz songs into easy to understand song sheets which include chord diagrams and melody/lead guitar tablature all of which are available to my students on my website. Additionally, on the website I have many jam tracks to practice rhythm and lead. To make lead guitar instruction easier I've created a series of lead guitar videos which clearly show the logical steps to go from being a beginning lead guitar student to a seasoned jazz lead guitar player. These videos combined with my instruction make learning lead guitar fun and exciting!
Within 24 hours of each lesson, you'll receive comprehensive lesson notes covering what we went over and what to practice to be prepared for the next lesson. There's no need to waste valuable lesson time writing notes--they'll be provided to you.
With all aspects of the guitar, I try to make learning fun and productive. My most enjoyable teaching moments come when a student tells me he/she wishes the lesson was longer and he/she can't wait to practice.
