Guitar Lessons · Atwater Village · Los Feliz · Surrounding Areas
In Person & Online Worldwide

Most guitar instruction teaches you what to play. Almost none of it teaches you how.

You can learn chords online. What you can't find is a teacher who understands why you've plateaued.

The fretboard gets taught as 10,000 dots to memorize — patterns without meaning. Here, we fix that.

Whether you're an 8-year-old starting from scratch, a senior finally getting to those Beatles songs, or someone who's been playing for years and feels stuck — starting right means you won't spend years unlearning the wrong things. All ages, all levels, in person or online.

◎

Tone before gear

Where you pick changes everything. Most players are searching for tone in gear. It's been in their right hand the whole time.

◈

Guitar is percussion

Rhythm is felt, not counted. Understanding the guitar's percussive nature unlocks groove that scale practice never will.

◇

Foundation first

You cannot put up window treatments without a foundation. Every student, every level, starts by getting the fundamentals actually right.
