Guido - Know your guitar teacher

Hey! I’m Guido — a pro musician, producer, and teacher with 25+ years on stage, in the studio, and in classrooms. I love helping people connect with music and build skills step by step, no matter their age or level. 🎸 Guitar: Rock, blues, pop, acoustic fingerpicking, soloing, songwriting. 🎹 Piano: From classical basics to pop chords, reading, arranging. 🎤 Singing & Voice: Vocal technique, warm-ups, breath support, singing your favorite songs with confidence and style. 🎸 Bass: Grooves, riffs, and playing with feel — from funk to jazz lines. 🎧 Music Production: Recording, mixing, creating tracks with Logic, Ableton, or Cubase. 🎶 Music Theory & Ear Training: Chords, scales, harmony, improvisation — making it clear and practical. I’ve toured with rock bands, performed classical pieces, coached singers, produced original tracks, and helped kids and adults find their own sound. My lessons are about growing skills and having fun — we’ll break down songs you love and build a solid foundation together. If you want a teacher who listens, adapts, and keeps things real and fresh — let’s jam and make your goals happen!

My Teaching Style & Methods Hey there! Here’s how I like to work with each student and each instrument — always adapting to what you need and enjoy. 🎸 Guitar: We focus on real songs and riffs you love. I’ll show you how to break down chords, strumming, picking, solo ideas, and technique — always connecting theory to practice. Step by step, you’ll build confidence to jam, write, or perform. 🎹 Piano: I mix classic method with modern tricks — reading sheet music if you want, plus chord progressions and ear training. We’ll play pieces that make sense for your level and taste, from pop to classical. 🎤 Singing: I work on warm-ups, breath control, range, pitch, and expression. We pick songs that motivate you and suit your voice, so you grow your technique and your style. I make sure you feel comfortable and supported every step. 🎸 Bass: Groove is king! We cover basic lines, rhythm, timing, and how to lock in with drums. If you like funk, jazz, or rock — we’ll learn lines and shapes you can use right away. 🎧 Production: We create tracks from scratch — beats, melodies, arrangement, recording, mixing, mastering. I’ll guide you through your DAW (Logic, Ableton, Cubase) and plugins, so you feel ready to make pro-level music at home. 🎶 Theory & Ear Training: I break theory into clear, useful ideas: how chords work, building scales, writing your own songs. We train your ear so you hear what you’re playing and can improvise freely. I believe music is best learned by making it — so every lesson is hands-on, practical, and fun. I plan each step for you, but we adjust as we go. Your goals shape the path!

During a recent piano lesson, Guido guided a student from Tallahassee through various exercises, focusing on C major scales, C major chord inversions, and a song. The student practiced playing the song with both hands, incorporating single bass notes in the left hand. For homework, Guido assigned practice on scales, chords, and the song, emphasizing proper hand technique to prevent strain.
