One of our best tutors. Quality profile, experience in their field, verified qualifications and a great response time. Ari will be happy to arrange your first Guitar lesson.

About Ari

I am currently a full-time professional guitarist, songwriter, and producer with a focus in alternative/indie pop, dance, and r&b. I'm a guitarist by trade, and have been in music over 12 years, and producing music to some degree for 10 of those years.

About the lesson

I try to relate to each student individually, and start by getting to know where they're at currently with their guitar playing skills and where they want to be after taking lessons. After that, we move together at whatever pace the student is capable of and comfortable with! These lessons are for anyone -- people looking to take their guitar playing to the "next level" or beginners who have never started!

Perfect! Very insightful, learned a lot about music theory in such a short time frame! I felt like i got what I wanted out of this experience and he made me feel super excited about learning the guitar. I think he is the perfect teacher. Someone who is knowledgable in music in general but someone who actually lives and breathes it on the daily. Great guy.

Perfect! My first lesson with Ari couldn't have gone better! He's super chill and easy going, and put me at ease right away. He took just enough time to assess my ability and then we got right into playing. The pacing of the lesson felt just right. Ari explained everything clearly without overcomplicating the concepts. I felt listened to and never overwhelmed. At the end he sent me off with a clear plan on what and how to practice. I can't wait for the next lesson!

Can’t speak highly enough of Ari. He goes above and beyond to make sure his students are really grasping the material he is teaching. He takes the time to sit and go over questions, while also spending extra time to focus on more rigorous areas of coursework. If I could give him 6 stars I would!

The way that Ari is able to explain difficult concepts into an easy to understand format, really helps you grasp and learn so much easier. If anyone gets the chance to have him as a tutor, take it!

Ari really took the time to understand where my skills were before we started lessons and made clear path on how we could achieve where I wanted to get to. He was very patient with me on things I didn’t understand well and did a great job at simplifying things when needed. He helped me gain confidence in myself and my skills. Would highly recommend Ari as your teacher!

Find out more about Ari

When did you first develop a passion for music and your favorite instrument?
I started playing guitar and really becoming interested in music when I was about 10 or 11. My brother was picking up drumming around the same time so we played a lot together!
Is there a particular type of music or artist that you listen to on a loop without it driving you crazy?
What I'm listening to is always changing honestly, so it's hard to give just one genre! Sometimes it's indie rock, sometimes it's pop, sometimes it's electronic, or country, or hiphop.
Explain to us the most difficult or riveting course you could personally give to a student of music.
The best course I could give someone is really how to write & produce music from the ground up. Starting with a melody or lyric or sound idea in your head, and getting all the way to a professional sounding finished product you could release on Spotify or Apple Music.
What do you think is the most complicated instrument to master and why?
Respect to the drummers out there!! I'm always impressed by a good drummer.
What are your keys to success?
The only one is to love what you're doing. If you really enjoy it, you will want to do it all the time, and "practicing" won't even be how you view it!
What are your keys to success?
Tough one, but let's go with… Nile Rodgers, Tom Misch, and Quincy Jones. All huge influences on me musically and all insanely talented in their own right.
Provide a valuable anecdote related to music or your days at music school.
In high school was when I really started playing in a band, and I remember always being so excited to play our annual "Battle of the Bands"
What are the little touches that make you a Superprof in music?
I think I have an easy time relating to each student individually and finding ways to phrase/explain things in a way that makes sense to the student. I'm not one to overcomplicate things that don't need to be overcomplicated!

Electric and acoustic guitarist with over 10 years of experience playing and a vast knowledge of applicable music theory.
