Learn the instrument through the music you love.
Whether you're picking up a guitar for the first time or you've played for years and feel stuck, lessons are built around the music that moves you — with theory and technique taught as tools, not chores.
Remote worldwide · Based in the San Francisco Bay Area
For players at every stage.
Technique, theory, and feel — in that order of service.
Songs first
We start with music you love and reverse-engineer the skills inside it. Every exercise exists to serve something you actually want to play.
Fretboard fluency
Chord voicings, triads, and positional scale patterns that connect the whole neck — so you can play what you hear, anywhere.
Theory that makes sense
Keys, modes, and harmony taught through songs, with visual tools that make abstract ideas click. No jargon walls.
Rhythm & feel
Timing, groove, and dynamics — the difference between playing the right notes and making people move.
Improvisation
From first blues solos to modal playing: frameworks for creating in the moment without fear.
Practice design
A personal practice system that fits your life — short, focused, and measurable, so every week you can hear yourself improve.
Lessons that adapt to you.
Weekly or bi-weekly sessions over video call — or in person in the Bay Area when schedules align.
Free intro call
We talk about where you are, what you want to play, and what's been getting in the way.
A plan for your hands
Lessons follow a path built for your goals — songs, technique, and theory woven together at your pace.
Practice that sticks
Clear notes and focused assignments after every session, so you always know exactly what to work on next.
