About Steve

I'm a professional full-time musician of 30 years (live, touring, studio, private guitar instruction) who has been active teaching a minimum of 35 students per week for many years with studies rooted in various styles and genres with a strong emphasis on theory, application and technique. I have a proven track record with helping many guitarists and students of the instrument reach their goals within a reasonable time frame and have successfully prepped over 19 former students for professional industry opportunities and college music majors. References available upon request.

What I have learned in 42 years as a guitarist and 31 years as an instructor is just too good not to share. Here we dig deep and learn the instrument and train our ears on several fronts---these are not garden-variety guitar lessons.

For the first time in over four years, I have several hourly time slots open in my schedule to take on new remote students. In all of the years I've been earning a full-time living as a musician, along with teaching approx. 38-44 hours per week with very little turnover due to the many students spread out in over 19 states across all U.S. time zones who study and stay with me for years, it's been quite a long time since I've had multiple time slots available all at once. I've got yet another soon-to-be former guitar student heading to Berklee College of Music, and two of my other amazing guys who after years of sitting with me for weekly sessions, have become busy working musicians and professional guitar teachers themselves and its simply time for them to move on. Always proud of each and every one of them and they certainly have earned it.
Sessions are comprised of intense, one on one guitar instruction that is custom tailored to each individual student's abilities, strengths, weaknesses and personal and professional goals on the instrument.
What's in store for you as a beginner or novice on the instrument: a fun, rewarding, logical and simplified system of learning all the right techniques and skills in chronological order, and laying a foundation, with concepts and musical ideas that will get you playing well beyond your years in record time...providing that you work at this and adhere to a practice schedule.

What's in store for you as an intermediate and/or advancing player who is obsessed with breaking plateaus and busting through a sticking point....a strong emphasis on intermediate and advanced diatonic theory, harmony and techniques to be immediately applied to not only screaming Rock and Metal shredding and/or note perfect cover song repertoire, but also applicable to Classic Rock, Funk, Jazz, Fusion, R&B, Blues and Acoustic guitar styles along with rhythm and lead guitar studies in a variety of styles that eventually carve the path for rich Jazz chord melody arrangements, Jazz/Blues and Jazz/Fusion genres. For players who are in a serious Pentatonic or Modal rut (we've all been there before at least once), a challenging program is available for those who are in dire need of breaking out of habitual patterns and licks, and looking to add dramatic harmonic depth and excitement to their phrasing and solos with bi-tonal scales and arpeggios, Altered scales, exotic string skipping concepts, sweep techniques, multiple-finger two-handed tapping, utilizing wider intervallic leaps and mastering the art of effectively using 9ths, 11ths, 13th clusters of every type of imaginable Triad and 7th chord or arpeggio inversion, in addition to chromatic passing tones that add sophistication to your improv. I use lots of backing tracks with my students and you'll be playing and locking in tight with a rhythm section early on.

For aspiring Jazz and Fusion guitarists: Shortcuts and the deep study for chord comping/improv over Major and Minor 251 progressions, Traditional and Smooth Jazz phrasing, Triad pairs and sequencing, Altered and Diminished Harmony, Harmonic and Melodic Minor Modes, challenging West Montgomery style 12 bar Jazz/Blues studies in addition to Jazz standards.

These are not average or garden-variety guitar lessons. Here, we cut right to the crash and get moving in a way that delivers results with all of your knowledge, and fretboard movements hardwired into your brain and fingers. If you are ready for school, eager to work hard and prepared to undergo a serious transformation as a player, this training is for you.

I'm looking for several hard-working and committed players who want to invest in themselves and level up.

Serious inquiries only please, as becoming a competent and seasoned player and a highly skilled guitarist takes time, dedication, and commitment.
