Hi, I'm Shane and music is my life. I am the proud owner and guitar teacher at Guitar Dojo. In addition to teaching, I also perform at various locations throughout Arizona. From weddings and parties to wineries, restaurants, and bars, I've played them all in the valley.
My studio is situated in the Mesa/Gilbert area in the East Valley, near the intersection of Gilbert & Baseline Rd. I also offer in-home lessons for an extra fee, depending on the distance and availability of my clients. Regardless of their skill level, from beginners to advanced, I teach it all and specialize in Rock and Metal guitar. However, I aim to be versatile as a guitar teacher and teach many different styles, including Blues, Jazz, Flamenco, Country, and even Classical, which I studied for many years at Santa Monica College.
Do you have a specific song or technique you want to learn on the guitar? Look no further and call or email me to schedule your first lesson.
For your special occasions, such as parties or weddings, I am happy to learn and perform any song you desire. I can also perform various music styles, including Rock, Country, Top 40, Classical, and more, tailored specifically to your event's requirements. I have all the necessary equipment and expertise to deliver the perfect music experience at your upcoming party or event.

A year ago, Shane initiated guitar lessons for our eight-year-old son. Each lesson, our son chooses a fresh tune to learn and looks forward to them with great enthusiasm. The lessons have become a fun and exciting method for our son to learn.

Even though Shane is my initial teacher, I plan on continuing my lessons with him for some time. His instruction covers a blend of theory and technique, and his diverse musical background enables him to customize my learning experience to my interests. Under his guidance, I have advanced my playing abilities and am playing music that I genuinely enjoy - a crucial factor for someone like me with ADHD to stay motivated. Moreover, Shane has been flexible with scheduling, which has been quite accommodating.

This person is incredibly patient with beginners and can adjust their teaching style in the moment. Additionally, they are involved in rescuing dogs! If you're looking for a metal guitar teacher, this individual is the perfect fit for you.

In lesson #1, Shane's skills were impressive as he immediately started playing songs from two of my favorite artists. This reignited my motivation to practice and perform.

Shane, my guitar instructor, is phenomenal. I discovered him online and have been under his tutelage for more than a year. His range of knowledge is boundless - he can teach you anything. Moreover, his grasp of playing styles and music theory is exceptional. You name any song, and he can effortlessly play it within minutes and demonstrate it to you. He can tailor any melody to your level of expertise, allowing you to enjoy playing most genres. Highly recommend him to all levels of musicians!
