Guitar lessons overview
In my personalized teaching methods, i will foster your creativity and passion to me this is the most important part, everyone is unique in their own way so lets bring it out of you. With patience and passion i will bring engaging technique-focused lessons based on your preferred style of playing. I use amp simulators and DAWs for an immersive and dynamic experience as well as provide you with backing tracks. I will teach you lines and songs from your favorite artists. Part of my style of teaching involves letting my students tell me what they want to learn and i will help you achieve your goals of course i will guide you and always have new things to learn or think about but let's face it the reason you wanted to play guitar wasn't scales or music theory it was something you heard that inspired you to pick up the guitar and say "i wanna do that" I will set and guide you on the right path for success no matter your skill level.
