Welcome! Let's Get You Playing
Thinking about starting guitar, or ready to take your playing to the next level? You've come to the right place. My lessons aren't one-size-fits-all. We'll build a plan around the music you actually want to play, whether that's blues, rock, fingerstyle, or something else entirely.
Getting started is easy. Just fill out the form below with a bit about yourself and what you're hoping to work on. If you'd like to talk things through first, we can set up a quick phone consultation. Otherwise, we'll go ahead and find a lesson time that works for you.

Besides your guitar, here's everything you'll want on hand before your first lesson:
  1. Computer or tablet — for video lessons and sheet music/tab
  2. Solid internet connection — nothing kills momentum like buffering
  3. Speakers or headphones
  4. External USB microphone (optional, but great for tone)
  5. Clip-on or pedal tuner — always start in tune
  6. Extra picks and strings — because you will lose a pick mid-lesson
  7. Music stand
  8. Guitar strap
  9. Foot stool (optional, especially for classical/fingerstyle players)
Don't have everything yet? No worries — we can talk gear recommendations during your first lesson.
