About Matt
I started playing bass at the age of 15 and within 5 years or so I moved on to guitar as well. In the 2000s I played bass in a rock band and performed around Los Angeles in venues like Whiskey a Go Go in Hollywood. I eventually started writing and recording my own material in various styles. My music has been featured on Bandcamp Daily, The Quietus, and Cassette Gods. I've studied guitar and music theory with avant-garde guitarist Bill Harkleroad, and classical guitar with James Hunley. I now release music as M. Ackerman and have nearly 20 releases spanning 14 years.

How you practice and what you spend your time practicing is worth considering. Technique, music theory, improvisation and composition are all important, but it's also important to have fun and be creative. Although scales and exercises are good to build technique and knowledge, a playful spirit is essential to creating original compositions.
First lesson is free and is more of a meeting to get a sense of what you hope to accomplish with lessons and to see if we are a good fit. We can meet virtually for this and go over some fretboard basics, or more advanced music theory for intermediate students.

I can honestly say that taking classes with Matt has been a very rewarding learning experience. As a complete beginner, I was nervous at first, but Matt has made the process so much easier and enjoyable.
He is a patient and clear teacher who adapts his teaching style to my pace and never hesitates to explain things in different ways until I fully understand, making sure I feel confident before moving on.
His passion for music and energy are contagious, and it makes learning guitar not just a skill, but a shared experience.
Overall, I highly recommend Matt to anyone who is looking for a dedicated guitar teacher. Whether you're a beginner or have some experience, he has the knowledge, patience, and teaching style that can truly help you grow as a musician.Matt is a caring, talented, and patient music teacher. I knew a little about guitar before I began taking lessons with him, but he has really expanded my knowledge and made learning about music exciting. The lessons are really fun, too! Matt is super knowledgeable and experienced and it is a joy to learn from him. Highly recommended!
