About
Did you ever want to learn from a guy who writes for GUITAR PLAYER MAGAZINE? Here’s your chance! In fact, Patrick not only writes lessons for Guitar Player, he’s written for Premier Guitar as well. He’s a Magna Cum Laude Graduate of Berklee and has been teaching guitar to all age groups at all levels for over 10 years. During that same period he’s gigged and toured with the likes of Living Colour’s Corey Glover, Def Leppard’s Phil Collen, hip hop artists Styles P and N.O.R.E. along with a whole host of NYC’s finest musicians. He’s also gotten well over 1 million views of his guitar tablature support videos on YouTube.
Whether it’s rock, blues, jazz, fingerstyle, shredding, or really any style you’d like to play, Patrick can get you there. Songwriting and music theory, too. And, the price is right. For a limited time, book a package of 5 lessons with Patrick and you get 5% off. Book 10 lessons and get 10% off! You can even book a free trial lesson with him to try it out!
Patrick teaches everyone from super-beginners to the über-advanced. He has a wide variety of musical styles and approaches at the ready, so his teaching methodology is centered on the needs of each individual student. Whether you are looking to understand how to solo over "Giant Steps", learn to sweep like Yngwie or if you just wanna bang out some power chords; he is at your service. Starting from the intermediate level on, however, he does place greater emphasis on developing strong playing technique, building your knowledge of scales, chords and arpeggios, and fostering a solid understanding of music theory – both in how it relates to the guitar and music as a whole.
Graduate of Berklee College Of Music - Class of '09 Magna Cum Laude - Guitar Performance/Contemporary Writing & Production
