Beginning Guitar & Beyond

You’ve always dreamed of playing guitar

You feel that pull every time you hear one of your favorite songs.

You pick up the guitar with genuine enthusiasm, 
maybe even watched a few videos, but are 
uncertain where to start.

You're excited to start learning, having the confidence 
to play for friends and family, or even joining a band. 


The possibilities seem endless.

Then the questions start creeping in

• What should I be practicing right now?
• Am I skipping something important?
• Why doesn’t this sound like music yet?

Without a clear path, practice becomes guesswork

Without a clear process, practice stays inconsistent and progress remains hard to measure.

You keep practicing, but never quite feel confident about what you know or where you’re headed. You enjoy moments of improvement, but they’re brief and unpredictable, making motivation harder to sustain.

Without a clear process, progress is unpredictable

Without clear goals, effort gets wasted. And without direction, even the most disciplined lose momentum.

See meaningful progress and have FUN learning to play guitar!

I created Beginning Guitar & Beyond to give you a clear path, meaningful goals, and a learning process that makes progress visible, enjoyable, and FUN.

The goal isn’t just to “learn guitar.” It’s to play with confidence, understand what you’re doing, and actually enjoy the journey getting there.

I spent 40 years doing sessions in LA for some of the most amazing artists in the music business.

I've played on songs for artist as diverse as Bon Jovi, Crowded House, Phil Collins, Jason Mraz, Rascal Flatts, Faith Hill, Tracy Chapman, and many many more.

The job requires emotional and physical resources and resilience. It taught me how to stay positive and productive in musical situations where artists ask the impossible. My answer is always yes, even though my inner voice is uncertain and even self critical.

My Secret? I start the journey, enjoy the ride, and let the finish line take care of itself. Every day on the guitar is still the first day of school, in a way.

Believe me, it's the same for me and for our biggest heroes also.

We are all in this together

I’ve designed a complete learning path for you. With more than 175 individual lessons, Beginning Guitar & Beyond guides you step by step from absolute beginner basics to confidently strumming chords, understanding how the pentatonic scale actually works, and playing real rock and blues licks that sound musical, not mechanical.

Every lesson builds on the last, so instead of guessing what comes next, you always know where you’re headed and how each skill fits into the bigger picture.

Beginning Guitar & Beyond builds your foundation, and these bonus modules help turn that knowledge into real fluency. They focus on one of the biggest challenges guitarists face: understanding the fretboard well enough to move around it with confidence.

You’ll learn how CAGED patterns, Triads, Scales, and Pentatonic Boxes connect across the neck. Instead of memorizing isolated shapes, you will start to see relationships between notes and positions. The fretboard becomes easier to navigate, and your playing becomes more intentional, confident, and musical.

As a session musician with years of professional experience, I've learned that the best way to teach 
guitar isn't just about showing you the right notes. 
It's about making the journey enjoyable from day one.

Believe me, I know how painful and frustrating these baby steps can be. I bring a friendly, patient approach that breaks down even the most complex techniques 
into simple, digestible steps.

My time in the studio and on stage has given me 
the versatility to teach multiple styles and the insight 
to know exactly what beginners need to build a 
solid foundation.

Whether you're picking up a guitar for the first time or looking to finally understand the fundamentals, I create 
a structured yet relaxed learning environment where progress happens naturally and, most importantly, 
where you'll actually have fun.
