🎸 Online rock & metal guitar lessons with a professional musician with an international career 🎸

Do you dream of playing rock or metal? Whether you're a beginner, a passionate amateur, an advanced musician, or a developing artist, I offer personalized lessons for all levels.

I am a professional guitarist with an international career, specializing in styles ranging from hard rock to extreme metal. I have also worked for many years in my own production studio, which allows me to support students both instrumentally and artistically and technically (preproduction, recording, arrangement, etc.).

My approach is direct, effective, and entirely tailored to your goals—whether it's learning your first riffs, developing your technique, mastering improvisation, composing, or refining your stagecraft.

What I propose:

Technical work: back and forth, legato, sweeping, tapping, etc.
Rock/metal rhythms and riffs
Solos and improvisation
Composition, arrangement, artistic coaching
Support for musical production (pre-production, models, recording)
Studio or stage preparation
Opportunity to work on your own pieces or projects
Classes only online via Zoom.
Relaxed atmosphere, serious work, and guaranteed progress if you are motivated!
