If you’re serious about becoming a more complete guitarist — understanding how music works, playing with more confidence, and developing a sound that’s unmistakably your own — these lessons are for you.

I work with intermediate and advanced players, as well as motivated students who may be newer to jazz or improvisation but are ready to dig deeper. Whether your goals lean toward jazz, pop, or studio work, the focus is always on helping you play with clarity, groove, and intention.

We’ll tailor each session to your musical goals, covering areas such as:
· Strengthening time, tone, and phrasing
· Understanding harmony and chord movement
· Developing improvisational fluency
· Applying theory to real-world styles — from jazz to pop to classic rock
· Preparing for studio sessions or live performance

My approach combines a working musician’s perspective with an educator’s clarity. I’ve studied with legends like Pat Metheny, Charlie Haden, and Jim Hall and toured internationally with artists such as Harry Belafonte, Richard Bona and Madeleine Peyroux. Alongside that, I’ve composed and produced for brands like Mercedes, Calvin Klein, YSL, and McDonald’s, with music featured in films and shows like Zoolander, Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations, and The Chew on ABC.

As an educator, I’ve also published over twenty full-length courses on guitar, music theory, and composition, helping thousands of students worldwide strengthen both their playing and their understanding of music. That same experience shapes my private lessons — clear structure, real-world application, and a focus on musical growth that lasts.

Every player’s path is different. My goal is to help you bridge the gap between theory and instinct, so you can play — and sound — like the musician you want to be.
