I'm currently accepting 'in-home' lessons (where I drive to your house) for students in the Los Angeles area. Please feel free to email me for more info and if you have any questions whatsoever. Thanks!    :)

As far as lessons go, I teach what my student wants to learn (and for young, beginner students, the things that student's parents would like for them to learn as well - note reading, etc..). I don't teach what I think they should learn. Oh sure, once I get to know where they want to go, I can offer tons o' stuff that I know will help him/her get to where they want to go - but first and foremost, I want my students to enjoy their lessons so much that they actually look forward to going!   :)

The lessons are comfortable, laid-back, and I only move at the student's pace. Not that it's so comfortable that we never get anything done, but that it's first and foremost a relaxing environment. If it's not, it'll feel like going to school - and we don't want that, do we? And, even though we do things at the student's pace, I'll be there to coach (and maybe prod a little bit) as much motivation and progress out of my students as I can.

I normally accept students from high-school-aged and up, but if a younger student is ready, willing, and hungry to learn, I'm there.

I teach most everything in the guitar-lesson categories: beginner guitar, rhythm guitar, lead guitar, finger-picking, learning songs, etc... and pretty much most styles like rock, pop, blues, classic rock, hard rock, heavy metal, funk, and even a little bit of beginner jazz. You're paying me to show you what you want to learn, so just let me know what you want to work on!   :)

As far as Scheduling is concerned, I'm fairly open to almost anything. Most students do a half-hour every week. But, if you would like to do an hour each week or every other week, that's cool too, of course; again, whatever is comfortable for you.

Payments and Cancellations:

*Cash or check are fine.

*I ask that payment is made for the month in advance.

*Any lessons that are cancelled more than 24 hours in advance are credited towards the following month (or a make up lesson prior to the next week's regularly-scheduled lesson).

*Any cancellations within 24 hours of the lesson are charged for half the lesson price.

*Any 'no-show' lessons (no call, email, texts to cancel) are charged full price for the missed lessons.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me by email:
