ONLINE GUITAR LESSONS

Learn to play guitar from the comfort of your home with live lessons via Zoom!

Online guitar lessons are a convenient way to save travel time or connect with a teacher who lives further out. This gives you the freedom to learn from anywhere.

During the lessons, I use screen sharing to guide you through the material. I'll then demonstrate techniques up close and provide detailed feedback while you play — just like in a face-to-face lesson.

Lessons include PDF materials, plus audio and video files.

What you’ll need:

  • Reliable internet connection
  • Decent webcam
  • Zoom account
