Hi! I'm Guido, a multi-instrumentalist, producer, and music educator with over 15 years of experience. I specialize in guitar, piano, voice, bass, ukulele, and music production. My background includes a degree in Music Composition from the National University of the Arts (Buenos Aires), formal vocal studies, and extensive work as a live performer and recording artist.

I have been teaching lessons full time for a living since 1987. Over that time span, I have learned so so much in my lessons. My basic vibe is, I am learning new things constantly, for example, I learned Paul Gilbert's Fuzz Universe and taught it to one of my students. No easy task for any player! I spent 12 years as a serious Spanish Classical player.
