Why take guitar lessons with me? 

It's my job to identify both the wants and needs of a student and to understand why they are taking lessons and what it is they want to learn.  Being able to do this allows me to deliver the best possible lesson with each individual; hence, a lesson that is customized to that individual.  It is also my job to make sure that no matter what we work on, students are learning, having fun, and retaining what is learned.

If all you want to learn is AC/DC, for example, that’s fine.  However, there is a substantial amount of information that can be learned from AC/DC about chords, scales, technique, and composition. Once a song is completed a student will not only play the song well but will also understand the theory behind a song and be able to compare and contrast other songs, bringing you one step closer to becoming a self sustaining student.

Styles:

Jazz, Blues Rock, Metal, Classical, Folk, Fingerstyle, Country, Reggae, Ska, Punk, Emo, R&B, Funk, etc...

The fact is, all music requires the same musical tools to achieve the sounds unique to a certain style.  What changes between styles is the emphasis on certain concepts and the techniques required to perform them.
