Guitar Lessons

I'll teach you any song or solo you want to learn...

Take guitar lessons from a pro with a great ear. Beginners welcome.

Just play me a recording of whatever you want to learn and I can teach it to you instantly, and will notate it as well. Acoustic or electric, any style, no matter how difficult: no shred metal is too fast, no jazz chord is too dense, no little folk ditty is too embarrassing…just bring it on! I can also teach you theory, improvisation, and help you with technique.

I can come to your place anywhere in Marin, the East Bay or SF, or you can come to my Oakland studio. Please call for current rates.

I’ve been playing guitar for over 20 years and teaching it for over ten years. I've been teaching guitar and band workshops at Marin Country Day School (K-8) in Corte Madera since 2003. I also teach band workshops at Bandworks in Oakland and at Redwood High in Larkspur.

I currently play in the 12-piece afrobeat ensemble ALBINO! (2005 SF Music Award Winners: Best World Music Band), the instrumental jazz/funk groove unit Guru Garage (with frequent guest Dave Ellis), and I perform regularly with the internationally-touring Pan-African funk group Aphrodesia.
