LEARN GUITAR WITHOUT THE CONFUSION

YOUR CLEAR PATH TO PLAYING STARTS HERE

Hey there, future guitarist!

Feeling buried under endless YouTube tutorials and conflicting advice? I totally get it.

When you're trying to learn guitar from home, it can feel like drinking from a fire hose, but here's the thing – it doesn't have to be that way.

My Story (And Why It Matters to You)

I've been playing guitar for over 30 years—performing on stages, leading worship teams, and recording in professional studios. I've made every mistake in the book so you don't have to. All those late nights figuring out why certain techniques work? All that trial and error? I did it so you could skip straight to what actually works.

I've studied under some of the world's best guitarists and learned how to break down complex concepts into clear, simple steps that work for everyone—from total beginners to advanced players breaking through plateaus.

I've learned by accident – now you can learn on purpose.

Let's Be Real About This

Will you become a guitar hero overnight? Nope. Anyone promising that is selling you snake oil. Learning guitar takes time – probably more than you'd like. But here's what I can promise: it's absolutely worth it.

I've watched my students go from barely holding a pick to leading praise and worship, writing original songs, and even recording albums. The secret? They were willing to put in the work and trust the process.

What Makes MY Teaching Different

Theory Made Clear

Music theory doesn't have to be intimidating or confusing. I'll show you why things work on the fretboard, not just what to play.

Rhythm Mastery

Solid rhythm is the foundation of great guitar playing, yet it's often overlooked. My methods help you develop the internal timing and groove that separate amateur players from professionals. You'll learn techniques that have been proven effective in real performance situations.

Artistic Development

Technical skill is only part of the equation. I'll help you discover your unique voice on the instrument, teaching you how to play with emotion, dynamics, and musicality that connects with listeners and enhances worship experiences.

Faith-Centered Expression

My Christian faith is inseparable from my musical identity. I believe that musical gifts are God-given and meant to be developed with purpose. Whether leading worship or teaching others, I approach music as an act of service and spiritual expression, helping students understand how their playing can create meaningful connections and lead others into God's presence.
