The goal of my lessons and clinics is to improve your sense of improvisation on the guitar by helping you to have a better timing (sense of rhythm, metronome), to know all the notes on the fretbiard (to know how to play in all keys), to develop your technical knowledge and your repertoire, Blues, Rock, Metal, Jazz, World Music, Classical, Country…
My private lessons deal with all these subjects and personalize them for every student. The lessons are recorded and you have guitar sheets and GuitarPro scores.
