How I teach
We build everything around the music you actually want to play. In the first session we set up exercises that give you a strong technique foundation, so everything after that gets easier the more you practice. Lessons run 30 or 60 minutes, online anywhere or in person by arrangement.

What it sounds like
Instrumental looping sets, built live from guitar — funky and ambient, groovy and melodic. I play blues, jazz, rock, metal, pop, funk, and ambient, and pull from all of it.
