Experienced Guitar Tutor in a Diverse Array of Genres

Eric D.

Hello! I'm Eric, and I've been playing and teaching guitar for over a decade, helping students of all levels develop their skills and confidence. My experience spans across multiple aspects of guitar playing, including studio recording, live performance, and both acoustic and electric techniques. I specialize in a variety of genres, from rock, blues, and metal to jazz and country, ensuring that my students receive a well-rounded education tailored to their musical interests.

My teaching approach is highly adaptable, designed to meet the unique goals of each student instead of checking items off a syllabus. Whether you're a complete beginner looking to learn fundamental techniques or an advanced player seeking to refine your improvisation, fingerpicking, or lead guitar skills, I create structured lesson plans that balance technique, theory, and creativity. I rely on real-world learning by incorporating songs, exercises, and practical techniques that align with each student’s aspirations, whether that means jamming with friends, writing original music, or preparing for their first live show.

Beyond technique, I also provide insight into the world of music production and performance. With my background in studio recording and live shows, I offer guidance on stage presence, tone shaping, and gear selection, helping students not only play but also sound their best with the tools they have available. I strive to make learning an enjoyable experience, with students using the momentum from lessons to continue leveling up. If you're ready to take your guitar playing to the next level, I'd love to help you on your journey. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a lesson!
