My main teachings will be centered around classic and modern rock. From The Eagles, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, and Led Zeppelin to Fall Out Boy, Ed Sheeran, John Mayer, and Twenty One Pilots. As you will learn however, I design a course of study specific to the goals of the student. I will teach the student any song they want to learn, from any genre!

Yes, I offer group lessons for 2 or more students at a discounted rate. I also offer a sibling discount. Learn more here.

Students seeking private study are charged a monthly tuition of $80.00 for weekly 45 minute lessons. There is an annual book fee of $20.00 for lesson materials. Learn more here.

No. Some of the greatest guitarists have never been able to read music. There are other ways to write out music besides standard notation that are easy to follow.

Of course. I am available in between lessons for questions and can sometimes reply with a video to elaborate on material. I am only a click away!

Absolutely, I always take requests and can break down the music you want to learn. If the song is above your playing level we can work on an “easy play” version.

You can learn more about my teaching philosophy here. I offer patient guidance and material that is guaranteed to get you playing smoothly and easily. I develop lessons that cater specifically to your goals, interests, and learning style. I will break down and make accessible the music you want to learn- please send me any mp3s in advance of our lesson time. I am committed to you getting results in your playing. I will give you a solid foundation and get you playing the music you love as soon as possible. My intent is to keep you inspired and making music.

I have been teaching in the VA area since early 2020, and have taught regularly in other areas for some time now. I have been playing for 37 years.

I would highly recommend you owning your own acoustic guitar at the very least. This will allow you the ability to play whenever you want, and to practice between lessons.
