Private Guitar Lessons

One-on-one instruction tailored to YOUR goals

Every lesson is customized to what YOU want to learn. Whether you’re interested in rock, blues, jazz, jam band styles, or just want to play your favorite songs, I’ll meet you where you are and help you get where you want to go.

With 45+ years of experience performing in bands and studying with world-class players, I can teach you not just technique, but the real-world skills that make you a confident guitarist.

Beginner Guitar Instruction

Start your musical journey with confidence – ages 11+

Starting from scratch? I’ll teach you proper technique, essential chords, and get you playing real songs fast—without developing bad habits that will frustrate you later.

With an emphasis on technique and basic music theory, you’ll develop a solid foundation to enjoy playing your favorite songs and expressing your creativity.

You’ll learn:
– Proper hand positioning and technique
– Essential chords and strumming patterns
– How to read chord charts and tabs
– Your first songs (you choose what you want
to learn!)
– Optional: Music theory basics that unlock
the fretboard
– How to practice effectively and build good
habits from day one

I started in my high school stage band over 45 years ago and know exactly how to build a strong foundation that will serve you for life.

Intermediate Coaching

Break through plateaus and take your playing to the next level

Hit a wall? I’ll help you refine your technique, expand your repertoire, and break through those frustrating plateaus.

For intermediate players, I can teach you:

– Advanced chord voicings and progressions
– Lead guitar and improvisation
– Music theory that unlocks the entire
fretboard
– Genre-specific techniques (blues, jazz, jam
band styles)
– How to play with other musicians (rhythm
AND lead)
– Song interpretation and building your own
style

I’ve performed with accomplished musicians like Martin Fierro and played in countless jam sessions. I can show you what actually works in real musical situations, not just what’s in books.

Genres I Cover

With 45+ years of playing everything from church music to Grateful Dead tributes to blues clubs in Bangkok, I can teach you virtually any style.

✓ Rock ✓ Blues ✓ Jazz ✓ Jam Band ✓ Pop ✓ R&B

Jam Band Specialty: I have extensive experience with Grateful Dead tribute bands and improvisational playing. If you want to learn how to really jam, I can teach you from real experience.
