Hello! My name is Andy. I have been playing guitar, recording music, and performing live for 29 years. I also have a Master's degree in art education. I believe that music is a wonderful thing that enriches everyone's life. Whether you're a beginner on guitar or a seasoned performer, I believe I can help you achieve your goals through basic techniques, performance, and music theory. I have been around the world playing music, have toured in bands in the US and have played just about any style of music you can think of. My teaching approach is through encouragement and guidence. Let me show you some the skills I've learned through my nearly three decades of experience with music. Music has made my life better and I know it will make yours too. Sharing the gift of music is one of the greatest things life has to offer, so let's start your journey today!

If you are a beginner, we will start with basic chords as the building blocks of creating music. Chords are simply two or more notes played simultaneously, which lead right into scales and music theory including modes and the magic of the major scale upon which all of music theory can be built. Through encouragement and technique you will learn how to apply your new guitar and theory skills to play your favorite songs and even write your own. Everyone has a voice, so let's discover what your musical voice is and express it to the world. Sharing music is a wondeful thing and there are many current technologies for doing just that. I am well versed in recording technology as I have been recording my own music since I was 13. Of course, if you simply want to just play for yourself, family, and friends, that's great too! Music can enrich you life in amazing ways!
