My teaching style is all about helping you grow in a way that’s personal, practical, and inspiring. I tailor each lesson to your individual goals—whether you're chasing technical precision, preparing for music school, or just want to play your favorite songs with confidence.

We’ll dive deep into everything from fretboard fluency and music theory (from the basics to the advanced) to soloing across styles. We will also cover some of my favorite techniques such as alternate picking, sweep picking, arpeggios, scales, fingerpicking, and more. We'll not only learn the songs you love, but also break them down to understand how they’re built—so you walk away with real tools for creating your own sound.

Whether you're just getting started or pushing for that next breakthrough, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. Let’s take your playing to the next level—sign up and let’s get to work!
