30 Minutes is all it takes! Book your first Guitar lesson now!
Whether you're looking for lessons for yourself or your child, I'll have you (or them) playing real songs within weeks, not months!

Hey, I’m Tommy! A musician, composer and dedicated guitar teacher with over a decade of experience making music accessible and enjoyable for all levels. I’m here, sharing my knowledge on the essential guitar principles needed to nail your favorite songs in only a few lessons! Join me online for a lesson or even easier, I will come to you.

Seriously, It doesn’t need to take years of practice and tedious drills to LEARN how to play the Guitar. Let me show you how learning the guitar can be faster, more fun, and easier than you thought!

(See below testimonials from my current and past students.)

Teaching Philosophy:
After years of performing, recording, and teaching students from age 5 to 70, I’ve developed an approach that works for everyone:

Play Real Music Immediately:
Whether it’s “Smoke on the Water” or “Let It Go,” you’ll be playing recognizable songs within your first few lessons.

Practical Theory When Needed:
No overwhelming music theory dumps – just what you need, when you need it, directly connected to the songs you’re learning.

Customized Learning Path:
Your lessons follow your interests and goals, whether that’s strumming pop songs, shredding solos, or writing your own music.

Progress at Your Pace:
Challenging enough to keep you engaged, but not so difficult that you get discouraged.

Below is a list of what I offer lessons on.

Guitar – Playing, techniques, theory, performing, improvisation.
Song Writing/Composition - Techniques, methods, compositional tools.
Improvisation – Soloing in different styles/genres, soloing in different keys and modes.
