Private lessons

Personalized teaching that fits you: guitar lessons built around your goals, skill level, and musical tastes.

In person in Nashville, or online via Zoom.

My goal as a teacher is to help you play with more ease and confidence, no matter what you play. My students are professional performers and songwriters, casual hobbyists, weekend warriors, and just regular folks that want to learn guitar.

More than traditional guitar lessons, my approach trains you to think like a musician. In the process, you’ll learn to identify and solve problems, how to practice more effectively, and most of all, how to get out of your own way and enjoy playing music.

Initial session is a 75 minute assessment.
Ongoing private lessons are 45 or 60 minutes.

In-person sessions are held at my North Nashville studio (Metrocenter); online sessions are generally held over Zoom.

If you’re looking for guidance on:

  • what and how to practice

  • how to make chord transitions smoother

  • how to learn and remember songs

  • how to play melodic leads instead of licks and scales

  • practically applying music theory

  • balancing satisfaction and struggle

No matter your musical challenge, I can help.

“Guitar has become something that I truly enjoy doing.
Now I never want to stop playing!.”

– Ellie K., beginner student
