Guitar or Bass Lessons

My musical journey started with electric guitar and grew into a love for many instruments. I teach without a rigid curriculum, tailoring each lesson to your goals—whether that’s playing your first chord, locking in a bassline, or creating your own solo.

Testimonials

Barbara L.

"As an older adult beginner, I appreciated Andrew's infinite patience in teaching me, not only the bass from scratch, but aspects of theory that applied to the music I was playing. He always suggested alternative approaches, if I couldn't manage to master a riff in the beginning. And, jamming together with him was great fun!"

Rohit S.

"I worked with Andrew for over a year and had no musical background. While I came to him for bass instructions, we evolved to doing both bass and drum instruction. I learned a lot from him as he was patient and adaptable throughout the process. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a musical instructor."

What should I bring to my lesson?

Bring your guitar (and amp for electric guitars) as well as any materials that you want to learn from, such as books, online tabs, etc.

We will take a minute or two at the beginning of each lesson to set up Zoom for our lesson. Please ensure you are in a relatively quiet room without distractions.

Do you recommend acoustic guitars or electric guitars for beginners?

It depends on what styles of music you enjoy and want to learn to play. If you want to play folk or acoustic music, go for an acoustic guitar. If you want to play rock, metal, or alternative music, go for an electric guitar kit. Learning music that you love is a strong motivation to practice and develop in your craft.

If there is no significant preference for style, we recommend starting on an electric guitar. Acoustic guitars are a common recommendation for beginners, but electric guitars are much more forgiving on the hands when compared to acoustic guitars. They also can be quieter for practice, as most beginner guitar amps have headphone outputs, which mutes the speaker and makes it nearly silent for everyone except the musician wearing headphones.
