Private Lessons & Coaches in Pawtucket, RI

Guitarist with two decades of immersive musical experience. Over the course of 15 years playing live and 10 professionally, I've been part of diverse musical ventures – from cover bands, tribute acts, and original projects to weddings, corporate parties, and national venues. Notably, I contributed to the top-tier tribute band Maiden New England, featuring original Iron Maiden guitarist Dennis Stratton. With a deep understanding of music theory, improvisation, chords, scales, and modes, my style spans 80's metal, Classic Rock, Hard Rock, Blues, and Acoustic genres. Beyond the mainstream, I delve into Punk, Jazz, Ska, Funk, R&B, Pop, Country, and even a touch of classical. Considered a shredder, I prioritize feel in my playing, emphasizing strong legato in lead guitar. Phrasing is a key element in my coaching, helping students develop their unique sound and style. Teaching for the past decade, sharing my passion and knowledge has been incredibly rewarding. Let's ignite your musical journey together, discovering the joy of playing and finding your own distinct voice in the world of music!
