About Anthony

I started in 1984 at a music store in Placentia called Instant Guitar. I was the only electric and bass instructor at this store.
I have studied with Horace Hackett who played with The Jimmy Dorsey band, Red Nichols, Ted Fio Rico. He was a CBS studio musician. He taught many styles of guitar, including chord melody.
I studied with Rusty Anderson, who is Paul McCartney guitar player. Topics we covered included scales, improvisation, chord substitution, to name a few.

I ask them what style of music they are interested in. I review the parts of the guitar, how to hold a pick, read a chord chart, music terminology. I give them a practice schedule With specific areas and a time table for each area.
I work with beginners through advanced students. My students range in age from 10 to 60 years.
Always ask questions to make sure your comfortable with your understanding of what it is your practicing. If you are feeling like you don’t quite get what’s being explained, tell that individual to slow down and take it one step at a time.
One of my current adult students just recently succeeded in being able to execute a Bachman Turner Overdrive song. This is his favorite bands of all time. It was such a great feeling watching him play the song with confidence and great execution!
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What excites me about guitar? What do I want to be able to do? Is it your goal to play a particular song, or to be able to jam with friends, play in a band? Is there a particular style of guitar you like? These are a good point of reference you can ask your teacher.

Anthony is an amazing instructor! I've been taking lessons with him for the last six months and I don't plan on stopping any time soon. He's a very relaxed teacher, so I feel like I'm learning a lot, but I'm not stressed if I don't pick something up right away. He asks for songs that I want to play so that I can learn music that I'm excited about. Very patient and flexible with my student schedule, I would absolutely recommend him to a friend, or anyone, looking to take guitar lessons.
Anthony is always prepared for the lesson and has a very clear way to help you understand what he is teaching you. Not only he is a good teacher, put a great player as well and that helps to translate the lesson into being fun and motivates you to learn!
Anthony is a very good guitar player and more importantly an awesome teacher. I am very grateful to have him as a teacher. He always knows what I am asking for and knows what direction I should progress in. Definitely recommend him to any and all students from beginners to pros.
I took lessons with Anthony for over 8 years. Whatever your goals may be, Anthony can help you achieve them. The lessons are fun and challenging. I started taking lessons with Anthony when I was 12 years old. Anthony was patient with me and challenged me in a way that kept me motivated to play and practice every day. It’s now been about 22 years since I first started my lessons with Anthony and his guitar playing still motivates me to play better. We are still friends and if I had the time I would go back and take lessons from him. He is a great teacher and a great player.
I have been taking lessons from Anthony for 15 yrs. He has a broad range of musical background and knowledge. He is able to clearly instruct in theory and guitar technique. He has a very positive teaching style and is always encouraging. His lessons are always challenging but balanced with fun so that you easily progress in your ability. He is also flexible with his class schedule so I am able to adjust lesson date & times if needed. I would highly recommend him as a teacher for beginning to advanced players.
Lessons with Anthony have been wonderful. His ability to disseminate knowledge of music theory and practical application to the guitar is second to none. I have been with him a year now and my playing and understanding of theory has improved more than I ever imagined it would. My lessons have been appropriate for my skills, never too hard or too simple. Just the right amount of rigor for me to consistently improve. I am looking forward to what the next year holds.
Anthony is a very friendly and attentive teacher. He is always prepared and very clear and concise. Anthony was my guitar teacher for 11 years, and I have learned and grown as a guitar player and musician because of him. Not only will you learn guitar, you will learn music theory as well. I still play guitar today, and I can definitely say that I still use the tools and fundamentals that Anthony has taught me. Highly recommend!!
Anthony's passion for music and teaching is evident the moment you meet him. He's always teaching me new tricks and techniques that make learning guitar both fun and rewarding. He is also very accommodating and flexible with scheduling.
