Welcome to My Teaching Site

"I'm glad you found your way to Austin Blues Guitar Lessons!  I specialize in private guitar lessons in the Austin area for all ages and levels from kids to adults.  Beginner, intermediate, advanced and children's guitar lessons are offered.  I have over six years experience as a music teacher and have worked as a kids rock camp coach.   I have been a professional musician and guitar player for over twenty years, since I was eight years old.  I bring this vast experience to my guitar lessons.  My experience as a child performer lends well to teaching kids.  Want to learn rhythm, lead and improvisation?  Are you a music lover?  Want to learn how to play guitar like the greats: Albert King, B.B. King, and Freddy King, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jimmie Vaughan and Stevie Ray Vaughan? I'm a young guy, but I've had a lifetime of performing around the world with many of the legendary players. I'd love to help anybody who's a serious blues and rock lover. In customized music lessons, I'll help you to develop your "ear" so you can learn from all the great recordings, teach you all the basics of playing if you're a beginner, and teach you more serious stuff if you're already a player. No reading charts here. The best part is having a blast playing like your heroes!  I look forward to meeting all of you future guitar slingers!"
