My teaching philosophy is that you must have fun. If studying guitar feels like a chore, this won't work. I like to meet students where they are, both overall (what's the music you love!) and how they feel week to week.

I write guitar-focused journalism for magazines like Premier Guitar & Fretboard Journal.
