About Me

What You Will Need

The Proper Size Guitar

If you are interested in an acoustic guitar, you need to make sure, you have the proper size for you. Younger students may need a 1/2 size or 3/4 size guitar. I do teach electric guitar and an amplifier will be needed if electric guitar is chosen, along with a guitar cable.

Guitar Book

If interested in reading music ( notes) a guitar method book will be recommended.

Tablature Notebook

When learning songs, we will utilize a tablature notebook. You want to bring this with you each week . I also request that the student brings a folder in which to keep music and songs.
