Guitar And Bass LEssons
Learn to pluck, tap, slap, shred and everything else guitar and bass related.
Maybe your just beginning and you’ve never even held a guitar. Maybe you taught yourself and feel like you’ve hit a plateau learning only from YouTube videos. Or maybe you are a parent and you want to support your child’s natural musical interests and abilities. Wherever you are at today, I will work towards taking you to the next level.
A typical 45-minute lesson usually looks something like this: we spend a few minutes catching up/getting to know each other better, then a 10 to 15 minute warm-up that changes week to week depending on your goals. After that, anything is possible! If your just starting out and don’t know what music you like, then I can teach you few different styles that will push your technique and maybe we will find a song in there that really flips that switch. Did you just join a band and want to work on song writing? We will explore how to unlock your creativity. Or perhaps your child is preparing to audition for a guitar or voice program in college, then coaching an impressive performance will be our most important goal.

“Matt has been unbelievable!! Our daughter, Amelia (8 years old), has been taking lessons for about a year. Learning basic techniques — notes, song structure, etc. She’s learned about 5 songs. She love’s to play and learn new things. We love matt because he’s always patient, thorough, and encouraging. Always positive!!! We highly recommend Matt!!! As Amelia said “He rocks!!”
— Phil, Amelia’s father
“I've worked with Matt for several years now, and couldn't be happier with the progress he's helped me make. As a latecomer to guitar, I feel Matt's been incredibly adaptable to my pace and way of learning, and has been willing and able to pivot to lessons on technique, music theory, or just plain 'learn a song' whenever I need to change things up and get unstuck.”
