LIVE GUITAR LESSONS: ACOUSTIC & ELECTRIC. ONLINE VIA VIDEO.

LEARN WHAT YOU WANT TO LEARN ON GUITAR

I teach awesome guitar lessons for adults and kids at any ability level: never-ever, beginning, some-experience, intermediate and advanced.

I help you learn what you want to learn: Songs you love. Techniques you're curious about. How to sing and play. Fingerpicking. Soloing. Advanced aspects of the guitar. Songwriting. And anything else your heart desires. You can learn on acoustic guitar and/or electric guitar. I also teach workshops and classes in: mindful music (in person & online) , songwriting (in person & online) and home studio recording (online)

I taught myself how to play the guitar in high school shortly after I started playing piano. I was writing and recording songs, and I wanted to diversify my instrument pallet. And I wanted something more portable. I've been playing guitar for 39 years and teaching it for 21 years. I've performed, recorded and written with guitar. It's my go to instrument.

And I'd love help you learn to play guitar. Or improve your current skills. Or dive deep and uncover new-to-you-gems. I encourage you to learn more about my teaching methods on the Lessons Overview & Teaching Philosophy page.

DON'T HAVE A GUITAR? During your free intro lesson, you are welcome to use one of my guitars, and we can talk about what guitar is best for your budget and goals. I do this quite frequently, and it's my pleasure. Also you can contact me beforehand for free guitar buying advice.

For the last 5 months, John has been teaching me to play my guitar, not just songs, at my pace and level. Once you can play your instrument, the songs take care of themselves. I know I've sent a few notes his way that would make a lesser teacher cringe, but he sits through them and always has constructive criticism and something positive to say.

I'd like to recommend an awesome music teacher who lives in the neighborhood: John Shapiro. John teaches guitar, piano and singing lessons to several kids (and adults) in our co-housing community and the neighborhood. I hear wonderful things about his patient and enthusiastic guidance of children in learning how to play music. I've talked to John about getting my daughter, Isabella, started with learning how to play an instrument in the not-too-distant future once she is old enough.
