Roseville, CA · Guitar & Bass Lessons
No theory. No sheet music. Just you, your instrument, and the songs you actually want to play — starting on day one.
The Philosophy
Most lessons are built around exercises, scales, and theory that feels completely disconnected from the music you love. That's backwards.
The best way to learn guitar is to play guitar. Technique and feel develop naturally when you're playing music that means something to you.
"Focus on getting your hands to do what you want them to do. Save the theory for after you can play the music you love."
— B FreedYou'll build real technique — but through the songs you chose, not exercises that go nowhere.
Every session is built around where you want to go. No cookie-cutter lesson plans, ever.
You'll leave your very first lesson having played something real. That feeling keeps you coming back.
The Process
Come in for a free lesson. We'll talk about where you're at, what you want to play, and how we'll get there. No pitch, no pressure.
Tell me what you want to be able to play. Those songs are your curriculum. We start learning them from the very first session.
Regular sessions tailored to your goals, your pace, and your taste. You'll hear yourself getting better every time you pick up the guitar.
Any style. Any level.
Whatever you want to play — that's what we learn.
Open to teens and adults of all skill levels — whether you've never touched a guitar or you've been playing for years and hit a wall.
About
I teach guitar and bass the way I wish I'd been taught — by playing. Not by running through exercises that feel totally disconnected from the music you love.
My approach is simple: get your hands doing what you want them to do first. The theory, if you ever even want it, can come later.
Lessons are in Roseville and built entirely around you — your schedule, your favorite music, and where you actually want to end up as a player.
