Guitar Lessons Lessons are catered to each student individually, particularly for those who have already begun their guitar journey. I work with students to establish their goals and interests in guitar playing, and then teach them the skills they need to achieve those goals.

For beginners, you will learn the fundamentals of guitar playing, including:
Learning how to navigate the fretboard
Basic chord shapes
Basic scale patterns
How to achieve good tone
Simple theory concepts that are most relevant to guitar playing, such as intervals and how chords are constructed
How to practice efficiently
How to develop a good sense of timing and rhythm
Proper technique to assist in speed, accuracy, and avoiding injury
How to play your favourite songs
How to write a good riff
A wide array of techniques that every guitarist should have in their toolkit

I encourage more experienced students to determine for themselves which areas of their playing they would like to develop. That said, I'm happy to offer my advice in that area. Some examples of how I have assisted more advanced players include:
Recommending and demonstrating technique-developing exercises to help overcome particular technical problems
Assisting in the learning of difficult songs or solos
Transcribing songs or passages by ear so that students may learn them, and teaching students how to do the same
Advanced techniques, such as "Travis" picking, artificial harmonics, tapping, left and right-hand trills, voice-leading and complex chord voicings, and much more
Advanced music theory concepts such as counterpoint and functional harmony, and how they can be applied to guitar playing
Developing audiation skills
Constructing effective practice routines

I am experienced in a wide variety of genres, and I'm confident that, regardless of one's preferred genre of music is, students will find a wealth of useful knowledge to take away from our lessons together. That said, my current area of interest on the guitar is in fingerstyle, acoustic playing-- including classical and jazz or jazz-like chord/melody arrangements of popular tunes. However, I played guitar in a metal band for almost 10 years. During that time, I performed countless live gigs, wrote music and recorded guitar tracks in a professional setting, and had some of my work played on the radio as well as on YouTube and Spotify.
