GUITAR LESSONS

Introduction

Guitar lessons for all.  No matter what age or skill level, I could help you unlock your full potential and realize your musical goals.  My method is simple but intuitive, allowing you to learn, adapt and progress at your own pace.  In time, you will see a vast improvement in your playing, confidence and musical knowledge.

Curriculum

Since each student has different needs, lessons are tailored to the individual rather than a "one size fits all" approach.  Here are some of the topics that we will cover:

• Notes on the Fretboard
• Chords & Harmony (Open & Barre Chords, Triads, Inversions, Extended Voicings, etc.)
• Scales & Modes (Major, Minor, Diminished, Augmented, etc.)
• Technique (Hammer-ons, Bending, Tapping, etc.)
• Picking (Flat, Alternate, Hybrid, Finger)
• Style Lab (Rock, Blues, Jazz, Funk, Metal)
• Reading Music (Tablature & Standard Notation)
• Practical Musicianship (Ear training & skills to help you perform better in a group)
• Songwriting & Composition
• Improvising (play what you hear in your head!)
• Amps & Effects (plus other cool gear and how to use it)
• Recording (from basic to fully mastered production)
• Guitar Anatomy & Basic Maintenance
​• Career Coaching

Location

Lessons are held in your home within reasonable travel distance from Union, NJ.  I also offer lessons via Skype for convenience.

$30 per half hour lesson

$60 per one hour lesson

Cash, check and PayPal are all accepted forms of payment.

Policy

Lessons are held on a weekly basis in your home or via Skype and are billed monthly. The fee is due in advance before the first lesson of each month (by cash, check or PayPal). Once paid for, you will have secured the time slot you have selected. Cancellations must be made with a minimum of 24 hours notice. This gives me time to rearrange my schedule and give notice to other students. No refunds will be provided however, a make up lesson will be offered at a different time which is redeemable for a period of up to 30 days. If I am unable to teach a lesson for any reason, I will make up the lesson (if not I will issue a refund). Students must be prepared and are expected to have all necessary materials at the start of each lesson. This policy ensures the best possible experience for both teacher and student, and helps keep lessons focused on what matters most: music!
