Indy Guitar School

About

Originally from Boston, Massachusetts, I’m a music industry entrepreneur and now a local Indianapolis-based fusion guitarist with over two decades of active musicianship and nearly a decade of teaching experience. I serve all of Greater Indianapolis and teach guitar to absolute beginners, intermediates, and advanced players, both young and old. I also provide virtual lessons worldwide to anyone with a Skype account. In addition to being a guitarist, I founded a successful music software company, SoundBridge.

I have created a curriculum that mirrors the esteemed guitar program at Berklee College of Music, emphasizing improvisation, music theory, and modern techniques applied to the guitar. This structured program covers complete fretboard visualization for scale and chord creation, ensuring you have a comprehensive understanding of the instrument and the theory behind it. Through attentive one-on-one instruction, I guide you toward complete musical freedom and mastery of the guitar. The curriculum includes drills designed to enhance your skills evenly across a wide range of categories, including picking, fretting, scale patterns, chord shapes, chord progressions, rhythm training, and ear training.

I have guided complete beginners to play songs, jam with a band, and write advanced music (Country, Fusion, Jazz, Modern Metal, R&B, and more) over a few months. Many students, after the first three months, are in a position to improvise their own chord progressions and melodies for songwriting while developing competency for advanced improvisation.

For more serious students, we focus on mastering your forte, advanced music theory, shred techniques, or exploring other styles and genres of guitar you have never experienced—raising your motivation to progress and learn while keeping your love for guitar alive!

If you’re looking for a responsible guitar mentor who is reliable and will push you to become a great guitarist, I’m your guy.
