I've been playing guitar for over 35 years. I play bass as well, keyboards, percussion and other global instruments. I've played in many local club bands in cities I've lived in and I started teaching lessons in 2006 with the Paul Green School of Rock as well as private lessons. I play all kinds of music but specialize in "improvisational ethereal rock" similar to progressive and jazz rock but a little softer, more electronic and with room for poetic traditional song structure.

I've been playing guitar for over 35 years. I play bass as well, keyboards, percussion and other global instruments. I've played in many local club bands in cities I've lived in and I started teaching lessons in 2006 with the Paul Green School of Rock as well as private lessons. I play all kinds of music but specialize in "improvisational ethereal rock" similar to progressive and jazz rock but a little softer, more electronic and with room for poetic traditional song structure. I grew up listening to Motown, Elvis, Beatles, Kiss, 80s Pop, Rock, Post Punk, Goth, Folk, County, Jam Band, Psychedelic, Indie, Synthwave. I studied Independent Music in High School and Music History. I have an ear for Music. I'm also a dad and a former chef. Music is my passion.
When I started as a teen my first lessons were frustrating and didn't seem to make sense to me. I ended up teaching myself but this path took many months and years to learn things I should have known early on. I want to make sure you don't have the same issues that I had when I started out so this is why I'm happy to teach you my method that will be sure to get you playing guitar right away!
Learning to play guitar includes understanding your instrument and an overall understanding of music in general. Also, the direction you want to go with the music you like and want to play. You've got to start somewhere and I'm happy to get your lessons going!
