We'll talk first about about goals and music inspiration. I want to find what makes you passionate about guitar! If there's previous experience, any current strengths/weaknesses with the guitar. We'll cover tuning, chords, rhythm, improvisation, and fun learning techniques.
I've worked professionally as a guitarist for the past 15 years. In that time, I've shared the stage with Grammy-winning artists and had my music featured on television. I have extensive knowledge of chords, scales, improvisation, musical theory, etc.
Let's talk directly about these details. I'm willing to travel but need to take into account the travel time and transportation fees.
