About my approach

I focus on space and time in music, how to listen and feel the rhythm internally, manage anxiety, understand inner psychology, and use techniques like neuroplasticity and habit science. I share professional tricks, like speed bursts and moving toward conscious competence, and help students understand how frustrating it can be at times, while also teaching ways to overcome those challenges. 

• Learn Your Favourite Songs: one of the best parts of learning guitar with me is that we focus on the music YOU love. I’ll work with you to learn your favourite songs, ensuring every lesson is something you look forward to.

• Boost Your Technical Skills: If you want to improve your fingerpicking, power chords, or soloing techniques, I’ve got you covered. Together, we’ll work on specific areas that will take your playing to the next level.

• Effective Practice Methods: I don’t just teach you how to play the guitar—I’ll also help you develop a productive practice routine that actually works, so you see real progress and feel motivated.
• Performance Coaching: If you’re looking to perform live, I bring my experience as a professional guitarist to the table. I’ll help you build the confidence to play on stage, whether it’s in a band or at a solo gig.
• Achieve Your Goals at Your Own Pace: Whether you want to work towards RGT grades or just learn guitar for fun, I’m here to support you at your pace, with patience and encouragement every step of the way.

My goal is to inspire students to show up, develop good taste, and work like the masters in any field. I also introduce concepts like rock and jazz swing, playing behind the beat, and developing magnetic, hypnotic quality to their playing, just like the great musicians.
