Learn Guitar with Ahmad

•
•

I have toured around the world with bands such as Guns N Roses, Dokken, Michael Angelo Batio, Ratt and Metallica. I have studio experience. Over 20+ experience in teaching, touring and recording. I specialize in rock, metal, blues, fingerstyle, pop acoustic, and classical music. I can teach beginners how to start correctly yet learn fast from techniques I developed myself and learned from guitar masters such as Joe Satriani, John Mayer, Steve Vai and George Lynch themselves. I can also teach advanced techniques, artist development, live and gear consultation. About Me: Teaches students: Ages 5+ Teaching since: 1992 I'm Ahmad a very enthusiastic musician. I started out teaching myself guitar at the age of 12. I moved to the U.S. in 2001 and studied music for 15 years receiving my B.M. and M.M in music and audio production at San Francisco State University. I then moved to Los Angeles then studied and trained with John Mayer, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, George Lynch and many others. I have performed hundreds of concerts in the U.S. as well in Europe and the Middle East with Artists such as Ozzy Osbourne, Metallica, Guns N Roses, Michael Angelo Batio, Ratt, Sammy Hagar, Dokken and many others. I ranked #1 in the Slash Guitar Center competition. I was in the "list of top 5 guitar players ever" according to The Examiner, also picked as one of the best guitarists of 2013 and 2014 consecutively in the Rockwell UnScene magazine, and ranked 3rd in the Steve Vai Sam Ash Best in Shred competition. I find a student's strengths and weaknesses using various ways to encourage each student. I am very patient, kind, flexible, and enthusiastic and I love working with children as much as adults. I strongly support basic skills: sight-reading, pitch and tone. I have 25 years experience teaching kids and adults guitar. Also performing live and in the studio.

Ahmad is an easy going teacher who kicks my butt at the same time. Hes a stickler for the foundational elements, which is exactly what I need to take my guitar playing to the next level. He is truly interested in seeing me improve. Im a songwriter and I need to up my game to be able to hang with co-writers who are more advanced musically, and I also have the goal to play out at writers rounds and open mics and I need to get a little more proficient for that. Were playing acoustic. Weve done both Skype and in-person lessons. Highly recommended. Good location.

Our son took his first lesson with Ahmad this week and thoroughly enjoyed himself. Ahmad is patient and understanding, which are two traits that beginner guitar lessons absolutely require. He sent our son home with practice sheets, and wrote out the basic chords for Smoke On The Water, which was awesome because he can learn to play something that he has heard on the radio, which inspires him to play more! AHMAD Guitar Lessons is a perfect starting point for the little Eddie Van Halen in your house as well!

Ive been taking guitar lessons from Ahmad for about a month now, and he has already helped me progress in my playing and music theory knowledge. As someone who is self taught and has been playing for over 10 years, its nice to be taught all the stuff I never bothered to learn or couldnt grasp on my own. Ahmad is super knowledgeable, patient, and relatable. Plus, the dude can shred and has some cool guitars.

I have only had two lessons with Ahmad so far, and I already know way more about the bass and music theory than I did spending the past few years trying to learn on my own. Ahmad is awesome - really nice, patient and easy to learn from. The lessons are really fun and I cant wait to learn more from him. Two thumbs way up!

Ahmad zeroed in on the areas I wanted to improve and gave me very helpful tips on technique - as well as exercises that were beneficial and fun to play. He gave me some recommended listening too. Hes easy-going, patient, and has the education and experience to know what hes talking about!
