...anywhere in the world!, using Skype, or AIM whichever you prefer. Below I will have an entire explanation/layout of what I can do and how it works.

*Keep in mind of course, that most of what I do is heavily influenced by baroque era music, and modern metal*, but I have a decent amount of experience in several other styles obviously, such as jazz, fusion, and any modern styles of music.*

* I can do video lessons through AIM or Skype, and its a lot easier to reschedule and more convenient and all.*

Here is a layout of the details, so if you know of anyone that is interested, hit me up!

The purpose of music, and the guitar for that matter:
Since the beginning of time, music has had a transforming power over mind, soul, and body, and properly exercised can change lives. The human fundamentals of order, symmetry, and harmony are reflected through music, just as the ancient Romans developed architecture to its superior form, and the Greeks developed philosophy to understand the intangible world around them. Music is exactly the same as these things; it is harmony, symmetry and order on both a physical and ontological way, and these are the things that literally make the world go ’round.
In learning to play the guitar, you are not only tapping into a God-given gift that maybe you did not even know you had, but you are studying decades of musical and social movements including your own.

What do I have to offer?
A student comes to an instructor for one simple reason; that instructor has more insight or information on a given subject that the student, and he or she wants to attain the same thing or better. As an instructor, that is what I do. Any information I have, the student gets as well. I say this because in my training I have experienced instructors who have these "tricks of the trade", and do not part with them easily. I find that rediculous myself, so I have set out to do the opposite.
There are many things to be learned on any given instrument, or field for that matter, especially something as theoretical as music. Below is a short list of skills that are prominent and useful in modern guitar playing that are included in my methods of teaching(in no particular order):
-Sightreading(standard notation and tablature)
-Fingerpicking
-Alternate picking
-High speed playing
-Sweep picking
-Dynamics
-Musical history and song analysis
-Theoretical analysis of music
-Song composition and arrangement
-Rhythms
-Recording and production
-Performance and recital
And many more things that come up along the way.

Prices and dates:
I generally work in half-hour increments, ranging for your convenience or dedication from 30 minutes up to 3 hours, because really, its all about how much the student wants to learn!
*Introductory lessons are $5
1/2 hour: $15
1 hour: $25
Any additional 1/2 hours: $10
*Lessons are as frequent as you make them; once a week, twice a week, three times, its all up to the student.
*Booking month-at-a-time lessons(4 one-week lessons) is usually best for getting the time that you prefer.

Rescheduling Appointments:
In case of the event that a student cannot make a scheduled lesson, a makeup lesson will be rescheduled at no extra charge, as long as a call is made to inform the instructor(myself) at least an hour before the scheduled time.

If there are any questions, or topics of interest that were not covered, feel free to contact me at any time, preferably through the email given above.
