Guitar Lessons

I Work With

  • Beginners who want a clear starting point

  • Intermediate players who feel stuck or inconsistent

  • Guitarists who know “some stuff” but want to connect it

  • Players who want to improvise, understand the fretboard, and play with confidence

Lessons focus on:

  • Fretboard understanding

  • Connecting chords, scales, and arpeggios

  • Improvisation and musical phrasing

  • Building practice habits that actually lead to progress

Lesson Options

  • Most lessons are conducted online via Zoom.

  • Limited in-person lessons are available for students in Portland, OR.

  • SCHEDULING: Reach out using the contact form on the site. I’ll reach out to talk about your guitar goals and learn more about where you are at on the instrument. If I’m a good fit for your goals we’ll schedule a date for lessons. If I feel that I’m not a good fit - I’ll recommend another guitar teacher.

    PAYMENT: Venmo is currently the best payment method.

  • Guitar Lesson Cancellation Policy

    I understand that life can be unpredictable, and I always strive to be flexible while maintaining a reliable lesson schedule. Please review the following cancellation policy:

    • Student Cancellations: If you need to cancel a lesson, please notify me as soon as possible. While I understand that things come up, I do not offer refunds for missed or canceled lessons.

    • Instructor Cancellations: If I need to cancel a lesson, I will make every effort to reschedule within the same month. If rescheduling is not possible, I will issue a refund for that lesson.

    By booking a lesson, you acknowledge and agree to this policy. Thank you for your understanding and commitment to your musical growth!

  • I love to play in the Blues, Rock, and Pop genres, but I can also offer a wide breadth of knowledge on general guitar techniques, music theory, improvisation, and fretboard navigation approaches that apply to and benefit any music style.

  • For online lessons, you’ll need a guitar, an amp or amp plug-in, a tuner (clip-on or a mobile app is fine), a stable internet connection, the Zoom app and a webcam with a built-in microphone.

    For in-person lessons, just bring your guitar, and an instrument cable.

  • Yes! I can create custom chord charts, and scale diagrams, that you can refer to while you practice.
