Guitar with Yuri Steven

My name is Yuri Steven. I've been playing guitar for 35 years, and many other instruments for up to 35 years. In that time I studied music full time at college for 1 year, and studied privately continuously.

My specialty is lead guitar and improvisation in blues, rock, metal and contemporary styles.

My other specialty is in being more than just a music "teacher". I am also a music and musicianship coach. I am a public speaker and have studied psychology and NLP and have a great nack for explaining musical concepts and techniques and making complicated things easier to understand.
