I am a guitarist with over a decade of playing experience and five years of teaching under my belt. It’s always good to have something keep you grounded and for me it was guitar, and what better? At the end of the day guitar is the COOLEST. A Berklee attendee and Emerson graduate in sound engineering, my gig experience ranges from small venues to auditoriums. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned player stuck playing the same old things, I'm here to help you find your way out and get back on track. It all starts from the fretboard and together we’ll learn how to navigate your scales, chords and technique. I believe in making the learning journey enjoyable. From blues to metal and everything in between, we’ll explore the things that interest you the most. With the right environment and encouragement, your skills will skyrocket, while at the same time fall more in love with the instrument. Let's make playing guitar the fun and engaging experience it's meant to be!
