If you’ve been playing guitar for years but still feel stuck — this might be for you.

Not stuck because you don’t practice,
but because something isn’t clicking.

Maybe you:
• Improvise but keep repeating the same ideas
• Know scales, but they don’t really sound like music
• Feel lost when playing over chord changes
• Record music, but your guitar parts feel flat or predictable

That’s exactly where I like to work.

At a certain point, I realized that even though I could play,
my playing didn’t really stand out — it felt predictable.

That pushed me to dig deeper into phrasing, creativity, and how guitar parts actually function inside real music — not just on their own.

Over time, through recording sessions and live performances, I developed a way of approaching the instrument that’s more open, creative, and connected — and that’s what I teach today.

I work with players who are creating, recording, or playing in bands, and want their guitar playing to actually mean something inside the music.

A big part of the process is learning how to:
• Build guitar parts that support and elevate a song
• Layer parts so they work together instead of competing
• Turn simple ideas into something personal and alive

If you're recording your own music, I also help with:
• Arranging and structuring guitar parts
• Recording approaches and workflow
• Making your playing sit right inside a track

This is less about tricks,
and more about changing how you hear and approach music.

I mainly work with players who are serious about going deeper —
but beginners who want to build a strong, musical foundation from the start are very welcome too.

Lessons are available both in-person and online.

Private lessons in a focused, honest, and supportive environment.

Either working on the fundamentals of bass or guitar, left/right hand techniques, a specific song or even developing a more advanced playing, I always strive to bring insight and enjoyment over our music practice, I believe this is essential to connect with our creativity in a practical way, and massively improve our playing.

Normally, a lesson would be part of a cycle of lessons, involving a strategy specially adapted to the student’s needs, in that sense, we will work towards the music you are into, and grow in specific areas of your music practice and playing.

With beginning guitarists I will be able to go through songs at level with the student that they can choose themselves or I will come up with something suitable to learn. With completely new guitarists I will be able to go through basic guitar theory. Guitar is difficult to learn but I am capable of explaining theory in a fun and informative way.

Guitar lessons at home, I play in a band myself and do jam sessions and I still take lessons myself. Would you like to take lessons as a beginner or intermediate guitar player? Possibly also the possibility to play in the band once
