Transforming Average Joes Into Elite Pros

I'm Skeptical About Finding a Great guitar teacher vs. just "another" teacher; how are your results?

I know what you mean and it's one reason why I created, and constantly evolve, my unique guitar school system. New and current students see I care by how I constantly think, ask them, create and refine training methods, documents and all sorts of aspects to help them reach their goals faster while having fun. If you don't believe I care about you and your progress, your trust in the learning process will diminish and you will eventually quit and quitting guarantees you won’t reach any guitar goal. I work hard to gain students trust by constantly testing and creating new methods of improvement while being the best music friend you'll have. After you spend 2 months in my format, you'll see that I've thought A LOT about my students and their musical happiness and work hard to help you.

The sad reality is that most guitar teachers are either learning on the job, don't put much thought into your progress path, aren't passionate about teaching or just aren’t knowledgeable enough to get their students the results they expect. Don’t worry, I have proof I can transform you like the countless others I've taught over the years!  I have been teaching guitar lessons for 26 years and have a degree in Music Education from Elmhurst College.  I am an elite player with countless guitar lesson systems and methods that get you results!!! My students have gone on to have successful careers playing and teaching music with my mentoring. Would it help to mention that I’m actually a pretty fun person to be around?  Hopefully, but I’m not “another” teacher in any regards and this website should add light to this answer by going to the TESTIMONIALS PAGE.  You don’t have to take my words on this topic, just read for yourself on that page. You will get the results you want and I’ll open up doors to places you might never have thought were possible in your playing, songwriting, recordings and show performances. 

Can your guitar lessons really take me, an average joe, and transform me into an elite player?

YES, I transform Average Joes into Elite Pros with my Results Based System.  Let me prove it to you with another video from my former student, Daniel Farnsworth. Daniel started guitar lessons with me in seventh grade, continued throughout high school and a little while at Tribecca College. Daniel wasn't born with superhero abilities (not that he told me about), he came to me like all beginners = excited, eager to learn and willing to put in the time to get good/great. The secret is in KEEPING students excited, eager to learn and wanting to put in the time to be good/great. Eventually his story read like all great players = He trusted, listened and implemented the teaching and training passed down by a great teacher to become great himself.

WATCH THIS VIDEO! Daniel performed, wrote, recorded and video-edited all of this!!

Why am I not seeing much improvement in my playing even though I’m practicing, getting help from friends and using YouTube videos to learn from?

Simply put,

1) You need a true professional to teach and train you on a regular basis and give you FEEDBACK!! 

2) High expectations, unique experiences, efficient methods and how to practice and perform like a professional in order to achieve huge results will cure your rut or plateau!!

Having a professional coach to make sure you’re executing correctly, planning out your path with GOALS and fixing your playing issues is important. Also, learning musical concepts relevant to your goals is irreplaceable vs finding random guitar licks or riffs to play on the internet.  

Do Olympic athletes learn from friends and YouTube videos and then go on to win the gold medal?  No, they get trained by the best coaches and use every day to transform into the best they can be and win. So lets win together and I’ll put you on a path to having fun while gaining impressive results on guitar or bass.
