learning guitar should not feel like a chore!
You just want to play guitar…
Starting to learn guitar can feel overwhelming—especially with all the conflicting videos, advice, and endless rabbit holes on YouTube.
Instead you end up confused.
Sound familiar? You watch video after video, but get nowhere— Before you know it, you’re lost in an unorganized maze of tips, tricks, and random riffs that leave you more confused than confident.

Hello & Welcome!
I’ve been passionate about music for as long as I can remember. As a child, I played accordion & alto sax. However, it was the guitar that ultimately captivated me right around the time that grunge rock entered the mainstream. Listening to bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam opened the door to classic rock and decades of riffs and solos. I knew I had to play guitar! I’ve been playing and learning ever since. I now dedicate time to teaching others to do the same.
