    Expert Guitar Lessons: All Levels - Beginners to Advanced

    The key to fast progress on the guitar lies in developing good practice habits from the start. I teach a scientific approach to mastering guitar by learning how to train your fingers for physical mastery of the instrument, and learning how to practice effectively.

    I also focus on breaking down songs or techniques into manageable sections. This keeps things from feeling overwhelming and allows students to make steady progress, celebrating small wins along the way. We focus on getting the details right, playing slowly with intention, and ensuring that timing, tone, and technique are solid before speeding up.

    By developing these habits, students can make faster progress, avoid bad habits, and stay inspired throughout their learning journey.

    About Me

    I picked up the guitar at age 9, and by 12, I was already performing in local bars, backing up singers and other talents. Around that time, I helped form a funk rock band called The Lizard Slippers, where I played lead guitar and also wrote songs. By age 15, I spent a year at the Rimon School of Music to further my studies. At 19, I went on to form Vine, a professional events band that continues to perform today. It was during this period that I began teaching guitar.

    At 21, I developed tendinitis from playing too much, and spent nearly two years searching for a solution. That's when I discovered Jamie Andreas' approach to guitar playing, which completely transformed my technique. Her methods allowed me to play without straining my body, and not only did this help me recover from the tendinitis, but it also boosted my playing speed and efficiency. More importantly, it revolutionized the way I approach teaching.

    Since then, I've applied Jamie's methods with all of my students, and the results have been incredible. I've seen firsthand that with the right guidance, motivation, and commitment, anyone can become great at the guitar. Teaching has become one of the most meaningful aspects of my life, and I’m now fully convinced that, with the right tools, anyone can succeed on their musical journey.

    Education

    In 2016 I went and studied Guitar at Rimon School Music and sound engeneering at Pluto Studios in Tel Aviv which included recording, live sound mixing, and producing.

    Experience / Qualifications

    15 years of performing on stage and in recording studios, with a diverse range of musical styles and settings.
    6 years of experience teaching guitar to students of all ages, from beginners to advanced players, with a focus on developing solid technique and a deep musical understanding.

Do you want to create your own sound on your guitar using amps, and pedals, ...? I can help you with all that! Knowledge of solfège or music theory is not required, we can always discuss this in class if you wish, but that is certainly not mandatory ;) I have been playing the guitar since I was 9 years old and for several years now I have been playing in professional bands with which I have been able to play on sugar rock, for example. The lessons would take place at my home in Mol or via webcam. If necessary, we can always agree on something else. Be sure to let me know if you have any questions and I will answer as soon as possible. See you soon!
