Professional Guitarist with decades of experience teaches blues, rock, jazz, pop, country on acoustic or electric, in your home or in my studio.

I am a current student of Mark's. I started taking guitar lessons again after a very long hiatus, so I wasn't starting as an absolute beginner.

Mark is a knowledgeable, patient, and very capable teacher. The thing I appreciate about the time I spend with Mark is he not only makes me a better guitar player, he makes me a better musician. Through Mark, in addition to regular lessons where I learn technique and playing through changes, I have been able to do live performances, composition, recording, and event management.

It is hard to go wrong with Mark. He is a very experienced guitar player and musician, willing to encourage and engage across all facets of musicianship.

I have been learning with Mark for over 8 years now. I have learned so much from him, including foundational skills, exploring new genres, and being able to practice performing on stage. Mark really works to build lessons and exercises around what specific needs his students have. For me, I've been learning a lot of simple, foundational techniques that can help me grow to be a stronger guitar player. I started with just playing four-chord pop songs, to learning how to improvise to different backing tracks. Mark is an amazing teacher, and he has always supported me to try something new! If anyone is looking for a guitar teacher, he is the best I know.

Mark is the most caring and involved teacher I’ve ever had. He focuses on helping the student develop a passion for music and discover their own sound rather than teach by a book. That being said, he extensively covered fundamentals and theory and taught me so much about music production and sound engineering. He hosts recitals for his students, which gave so much confidence in performing and helped me put together a band. Amazing and life changing teacher!
