Learn to blend the ancient inflections and melodic rills of the old modal system with the power and drive of modern rock.
I offer structured guitar lessons in my signature style — fusing early music (Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque) with rock guitar. Instead of run-of-the-mill exercises, we study real pieces like Brothers, Legacy of the Red Priest, and Sixteenth Century Six String. Sheet music, tablature, and backing tracks are provided.
These pieces build a strong foundation in scales, modes, reading, improvisation, and interpretation — all within a highly musical rock context. Along the way, we emphasize vital but often overlooked topics such as vibrato, ornamentation, and dynamics.
It’s a player’s approach: enough theory to make you dangerous, but never so much that it distracts from your guitar dominance.
