About Nick
My approach includes proper technique, learning the notes on the guitar with a more sensible approach, popular tunes, theory and improvisation, learning "by ear," and traditional music reading.
I don't depend on commercial guitar method books. No learning "Twinkle, Twinkle" and other nonsense.
An essential part of my job is to keep you interested and involved while learning with practical application
Years of teaching experience
Undergraduate degree in Music
Former "music store" instructor
Veteran of Rock, Pop, Country and General Business combos
Trained in classical guitar technique
My teaching techniques and materials have been developed over years of experience
I enjoy sharing my love of music, being with people and watching them progress.
I began teaching in my teens, showing the other guitarist in my band how to play the harmony parts I had learned by ear.
I began formal teaching after high school by taking private students
I started working in a music store in 1978, while I was in music school.
Bachelors degree in Music
Many years of teaching experience

Evaluate the student's level, needs and wants
Discuss and plan an approach that will accomplish their goals
I will teach anyone that has English reading skills (as that is my only language), I find written instructions necessary to keep students on track.
I have worked with all ages from elementary school age to retired. I have taught people who have never picked up a guitar to people who are already fluent players.
To begin with, get someone with classical training, as they will have the necessary tools to give you a firm foundation. It would be best to get a teacher who is interested in similar music to what you want to play. If you can't find someone like that, I would say go to a classically-trained teacher first, even if they aren't familiar with "your" style of music. After you have basics, then turn to a teacher in your preferred genre.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What are your goals? Do you want to play guitar for enjoyment, for friends, or professionally?
How much time are you willing to commit to studying?
