* Teaching Methods *
The way I teach a student depends on the goals of the
student.  Some students just want to learn to play chords so
they can play folk guitar.  Others want to be in a rock band
and others just want to learn to improvise.  Whatever your
goals are I can develop a plan to help you achieve your
goals.

I use Mel Bay's Modern Guitar Method books in my teaching.  
I was taught with this same books back when I learned to play
guitar and I like them.  There is so much to be gained from
these method books.  One of my main goals in using the Mel
Bay method books is to get students reading music from
standard notation on the guitar.

I teach music theory.  One of the most important things to
learn no matter what instrument you are studying is music
theory.  Music theory helps you to understand how scales
and chords work and knowing it can really make you a better
player.
