About Robert

With over 30 years of teaching hundreds of students (14 years at Charlotte Academy of Music), I have a curriculum for both 6 and 7 string guitar that will take you from square one to an advanced level whereby you not only understand theory as it relates to the guitar, but you also have a command of the guitar with your own style, developed from the sum of your influences.

My first teaching job was at Picker’s Supply in Fredericksburg, VA. They also ran a concert hall in the upstairs where by band used to play. One day the owner called me and said he was in in need of a guitar teacher and would I be interested. That was in 1991 and the rest is history.

Career guitar teacher for over 30 years. Former member of The Elite Guitar Teachers Inner Circle which included mentorship training for guitar teachers.

About the lesson

I specialize in extended range guitar instruction (7 and 8 string) and the musical styles that typify those instruments such as Progressive Metal and Djent. I have put together my own course caleed Life On 7 Strings and a 6 string version, Life On 6 Strings which is based on the same methodology as LO7S. This is available through my instructional website and I offer a free primer to get you started and prepare you for the main course

I have taught hundreds of students of all ages and musical preferences, but my specialty is in Rock and Metal. The lack of meaningful 7 string lesson material created a vacuum whenever a student would show up for lessons with a new 7 string guitar. This is what prompted me to create a dedicated 7 string guitar course.

Don't let any teacher try to steer you away from your particular goals with the guitar. That doesn't make them a bad teacher, just not a match for you. If your favorite bands are chugging away on 7 strings and that's what you want to start with, then go for it and find a teacher that will facilitate that. Also don't let any teacher downplay or discourage your dreams! You CAN have a music career, but it will take a LOT of work so be ready ready for that. It will also probably turn out a lot different than you envision, but that's okay. You will also encounter a lot of naysayers so your guitar teacher should be your one ally.

The release of my latest album "I Dug A Well" available on all of the streaming sites. This particular album showcases my own 7 string playing and many of the solos are based upon the lesson content presented in LO7S.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Am I willing to put in the necessary work? Your progress will be measured in weeks and months over days but there will also be those days where you have big break throughs and shining victories. Understand this up front. If a teacher is making it sound all easy and fun then he's not giving you the full accurate picture. You will get sore fingertips at first for example. Ladies you will have to trim your nails... sorry, not sorry. Also take into consideration the other activities and responsibilities that are a part of your life. How will the guitar fit in? Are you willing to carve out a dedicated guitar time into your daily life rather than have it be this nebulous thing that you'll get around to? Most likely it will fall by the wayside if not given a definitive priority.
