About your music teacher

Hi! My name is Joseph. I've been a guitar/music teacher/ metal instructor for several years now. I've taught from ages 8 to 60+. Mostly teach a wide range of great fundamentals to help build your own style of playing and to build structure and confidence. Have taught mostly metal but I have experience in multiple genres of music from country, pop, rock, a little bluegrass, blues, classical and shred style from many metal sub-genres. I found my passion for teaching when I taught most of my family members and realized how much I love teaching. I have played in multiple bands and toured all around the country playing at venues. I've also recorded many tracks from solos to full songs in music production. I will help build your understanding of music theory and practical as well as mechanical applications. These are the things that I use daily in my guitar career. I hope that I'm able to help you on your musical journey
