Welcome
Learn to play the music you love.
You want to play the music you love, but maybe you feel stuck in a loop of the same three chords, or music theory feels like a foreign language. I help guitarists bridge the gap between "just playing" and truly understanding their instrument.
Whether you want to learn a delicate classical piece, improvise a blues solo, or finally write your own songs, we'll skip the filler and focus on the specific skills you need to reach your goals. With 25 years of experience across many genres, I don't just teach you how to play a song - I help you develop the skills, knowledge and confidence to get more from the guitar.

Performances
Instant Karma! (We All Shine On)
Lennon famously said, "I wrote it for breakfast, recorded it for lunch, and we're putting it out for dinner." He composed it on the piano in about an hour on the morning of January 27, 1970.
Performances
Rainy Night in Georgia
Written in 1967 by Swamp Rock musician Tony Joe White, "Rainy Night in Georgia" became a massive hit in 1970 when Brook Benton recorded it. I used a similar style as Dupree but turned it into solo guitar accompaniment.
