Who I Teach
In 34 years of teaching, one of the most important lessons I've learned from my students is that raw talent is not necessary to become a great guitarist.
Hard work, motivation, and the proper mental attitude are the key contributors to growing and excelling as a guitarist.
I've found that my most successful students possess many of the following characteristics. They are:
- Psychologically flexible and open to new ideas
- Curious and inquisitive
- Willing to take risks
- Seek outlets for creativity and problem solving
- Value self-expression
- May be frustrated with their ability to be creative and innovative in the workplace
I have found that these qualities are most often found in adult professionals over 30; however highly motivated younger students can also achieve similar results.

On the other hand, I've found that students who are:
- Rigid
- Looking for quick and easy results
- Poorly motivated and not willing to put in sufficient practice time
- Generally indifferent to how things work
are not a good match for my services.
