Skype and Zoom Guitar Lessons

As far as lessons go, I teach what my student wants to learn (and for young and/or beginner students, the things that student's parents would like for them to learn as well - note reading, etc..). I don't teach what I think they should learn. Oh sure, once I get to know where they want to go, I can offer tons o' stuff that I know will help him/her get to where they want to go - but first and foremost, I want my students to enjoy their lessons so much that they actually look forward to going!   :)

The lessons are comfortable, laid-back, and I only move at the student's pace. Not that it's so comfortable that we never get anything done, but that it's first and foremost a relaxing environment. If it's not, it'll feel like going to school - and we don't want that, do we? And, even though we do things at the student's pace, I'll be there to coach (and maybe prod a little bit) as much motivation and progress out of my students as I can.

I normally accept students from high-school-aged and up, but if a younger student is ready, willing, and hungry to learn, I'm there. I teach most everything in the guitar-lesson categories: beginner guitar, rhythm guitar, lead guitar, finger-picking, learning songs, etc... and pretty much most styles like rock, pop, blues, classic rock, hard rock, heavy metal, funk, and even a little bit of beginner jazz. You're paying me to show you what you want to learn, so just let me know what you want to work on! :)

My lessons are orchestrated around my students' needs. I'm luckily able to schedule students for everything from a half-hour each week (the most common scenario), to an hour every-other-week, an hour each week, or even just whenever a student has time to meet up at their home or on Skype when they have the time - believe me, I know busy schedules! :)

My lessons run $30 per half-hour. I guarantee more time and attention to each of my students than just about any other teacher. Even though a lesson may be scheduled as a half-hour or an hour, 99% of the time, they're gonna run over those time frames.

So, for example, you may be paying for a half-hour lesson, but you most likely will end up many times getting a 35 or 40 minute lesson (especially in an in-your-home lesson scenario). Even an hour lesson can end up running to an hour and 15-min.

You'll be getting over 25 years of teaching experience and over 35 years of guitar-playing, professional experience.

You'll be sure to receive the BEST and most ENJOYABLE lessons around. They will be fun and relaxed, but designed to get you working on getting better on guitar and learning all the things you like. You won't just be learning songs and riffs, but all the in's and out's of guitar playing, guitar technique, music theory, and performance and practicing elements. If you practice (you have to promise yourself that, of course), you can rest assured you'll be getting your money's worth in our lessons (and then some)

Payments and Cancellations:

Payments can be made via PayPal, VENMO or ZELLE.

I would prefer that payment is made for the month in advance. But, lessons can be scheduled & paid in any scheduling scenario you prefer - week by week, every-other-week, or even if you just want to schedule up an online lesson once a month or even from time to time, depending on your schedule. Believe me, I totally understand busy schedules, and since my schedule (as busy as it is) is pretty flexible (during weekday mornings and most weekday afternoons), I'm happy to accommodate students with busy or constantly-changing schedules.

Any lessons that are cancelled or missed (a.k.a. "no-show") need to be made up before the following week's lesson, otherwise the missed lesson's payment is forfeited. Any lesson that I need to cancel can either be made up before the following lesson, or can just be credited to the following month's payment.
