Master Guitar & Bass with a Hollywood Pro

I have 2 options, 60 or 90 min lessons.

It's better to purchase a guitar because you want to practice on a regular basis at home. However, If you're trying to see if you like it or not you can use my guitar in the studio during lessons. I also help people to choose a guitar.

Rock, pop, jazz, blues, country, funk, soul, metal, alternative, bossa nova, surf... Pretty much all commercial music genres and subgenres. The main focus is on rock, blues and jazz though.

All levels. Preferably intermediate and advanced, but beginners are cool too. Most students start as beginners

I'm pretty flexible when people ask to reschedule. But I have these official cancellation policies:

Missing a lesson:

- If you miss a lesson, you are free to make it up after the missed lesson.

- 24 hour advance notice is required to be eligible for a makeup.

- Cancelling a scheduled makeup forfeits that additional makeup lesson.

- To cancel or reschedule, please log in to your account, go to My Bookings, and click Reschedule at least 24 hours in advance.

I create customized materials during each lesson individually for each student. However, I'm finishing up an instructional method book soon and would like to provide it through my website as optional material to purchase.

Yes, I have 20 years of music teaching experience. I've worked with groups as well as one on one lessons. The age range is from about 6-7 year old kids to adults in their 60s. The most preferable age is from teens and up, because it's a little harder to make young kids pay attention for longer than 10 minutes.

Yes, I can. Like I mentioned above, I help prepare for college or professional band auditions as well as with performances, songwriting, song arranging and production.

Yes, absolutely. I actually prioritize teaching my students how to care for their instruments instead of immediately sending them to a shop. Understanding how your guitar works is part of becoming a confident player.

That said, many students feel nervous about adjusting anything on their guitar at first—and I totally get it. That’s why I also offer string changes, setups, and basic maintenance as an add-on service. I want every student to play on a guitar that’s comfortable, properly set up, and inspiring to pick up.
