Hero's & Songs

 I also teach private guitar lessons out of my studio here in montrose. its pretty laid back and my students range in age from about 8 or younger to 80. I charge $15 per 1/2 hour lesson and I try to get you in once a week on a set day and time. 1/2 hour is plenty of time for a lesson. How fast you learn depends on what you do outside of the studio on your own. I do throw some theory at you and hope you will learn to read music. Reading is the greatest tool you can have besides ear training and its not that hard to learn. We learn the basic I-IV-V chord progressions and scales and improvising techniques so you can learn songs on your own by listening or be able to sit and jam with your friends with some confidence. 
 so get ahold of me if your interested in improving your playing or learning from the start. You can check to see what time slots are open by clicking on lesson times.

About my Music
I suppose the music is a product of my generation. I always wanted to be and sound like the musicians i grew up listening to in the 70's and 80's, but i still find room in my set list for contemporary artists. I was most impressed with the sounds of bands like America, Dan Fogelberg, the Beatles (of course), Bad Company, John Mellencamp and Jackson Browne and led zeppelin. Its all pretty straight forward Acoustic Rock with a little of my own jazz thrown in there. Some of the songs I cover include:
