Description:

Have you ever wished you could play music by ear on the spot? I developed this skill out of necessity because a lot of the music I listen to doesn't have accurate tabs or sheet music to learn from. My approach is not to teach you chords you can find in books, but to show you how to position your fingers, hand, wrist, and forearm to cleanly play the notes.

My focus is on teaching proper and effective techniques to develop your playing ability. I guarantee you'll use your pinky finger more often than you'd expect. Many of the techniques I teach involve nuanced details that can't be learned just from reading books or watching videos.

To teach, I use Guitarpro, Synthesia, and Transcribe. I specialize in rock/metal with a mix of blues and neoclassical styles.

My influences include Michael Romeo, Buckethead, Nobuo Uematsu, Akira Yamaoka, Seiji Yokoyama, Paul Gilbert, Symphony X, Dream Theater, Metallica, Megadeth, Guns n Roses, Malice Mizer, Rammstein, Make-Up, Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, John Williams, CPE Bach, JS Bach, and Ludwig Van Beethoven.

I am delighted to have found Andy as my recent guitar lessons instructor. His teaching passion and patience, along with his impressive skills in playing, make him an exceptional tutor. Additionally, his e-mail follow-up service is remarkable. For effective organization, I suggest uploading lesson plans to Guitar Pro. Even though I have a bit of experience in playing bass guitar, I would still highly recommend Andy to any novice learner.
