I don’t know. Let him speak.
Just a passionate guitarist since 2004, with (almost) two decades of teaching experience and two degrees in music education.
I’m the go-to guy for guitar players who…
… Feel trapped in a loop of tutorials, courses, and gear, yet still sound the same as they did a year ago.
… Want to fully understand and master the guitar but don’t know where to start.
… Realize it’s time to stop struggling alone and start making meaningful progress.
Since 2007, I’ve empowered guitar players to turn challenges into victories, giving them the tools to play freely and creatively—and ultimately, fall back in love with their guitar.
Still loving it!
