João Neves - Guitar lessons in Stockton

I'm João Neves, a guitar tutor with over 8 years of experience teaching. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Music, with a specialization in Electronic Music and Music Production. This brings a range of unconventional techniques to my guitar playing, allowing me to take advantage of effects and manipulate audio in expressive ways. I build most of my guitars with built-in MIDI controllers, etc., that allow me to explore these sonic expressive paths. I also play a lot of other instruments, such as synthesizers, bass and a few weird things. I love to explore music and sound. I like to make my lessons fit better with the students' types and interests. I try mostly to bring some music theory over, since I believe that opens the way for the students to find their way to enrich their guitar playing, going through complex chords, scales, modes, you name it. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced player, I can help you find something new to explore in the incredible guitar world. Let's strum your favorite songs and discover what makes them so special!
