About your guitar coach
Hey! I’m Matt, a guitarist with 20+ years of playing experience and a passion for helping people tap into their creativity through music. I’ve played everything from punk and post-hardcore to blues and ambient experimental, and I love tailoring lessons to what gets you excited to pick up the guitar. Whether you’re brand new or want to break out of a plateau, I focus on real-world playing, creativity, and building confidence — not just dry theory and drills. We’ll work on songs, techniques, and sounds that resonate with your style and goals. I’m currently based in Chicago and offer lessons for teens and adults, both in-person and virtual. Let’s make music.
