What I teach:
I focus on making guitar fun, practical, and approachable - especially for younger players.
We start learning to play your favourite songs Day 1.
* Rock, metal, indie, country, folk, & more
* How to actually play songs, not just theory
* Learning by ear
* Learning to read and write guitar tabs
* Basic technique, rhythm, chords, and confidence
* Building real playing skills from day one
* Changing guitar strings, guitar maintenance, etc.
I do not focus on sheet music or classical-style instruction—the goal is to get students playing music they actually enjoy as quickly as possible.
