“One of the foremost exponents of the piano in Latin America”
NOTIMEX, 2013

He has written his own articulate and insightful booklet notes and practises what he preaches in highly persuasive performances. INTERNATIONAL RECORD REVIEW, Jonathan Woolf 2017


“Its lush romantic themes and and Lisztian fireworks bordering on pastiche are given a confident, no-holds- barred performance by siblings Zaeth and Rodolfo” GRAMOPHONE, December 2014


“Rodolfo fühlen sich ebenso wie das Sinfonieorchester San Luis Potosí in dem musikalischen Idiom von Mexikos, Nationalkomponist `hörbar zu Hause, glänze durch Spielfreude. Rodolfo verfügt über den virtuosen Zugriff, der den Kompositionen gut ansteht, un das Orchester kann auch die elegischen Passagen adäquat umsetzen…”
KLASSIK.COM, Dr. Jürgen Schaarwächter 2014

Hello!

Passionate about guitar for many years and a graduate in contemporary music, I offer personalized lessons in electric and acoustic guitar, as well as harmony and music theory.

My approach is designed to be easy, fun, and comprehensive. Whether you're a complete beginner or a musician looking to deepen your knowledge, I adapt to your pace and musical tastes (Rock, Blues, Hard Rock, Pop, etc.).

The program includes:
Learning songs you love from the very first lessons.
Mastering fundamental techniques (chords, rhythm, improvisation).

In-depth exploration: pentatonic scales, triads, arpeggios, and playing with chord changes.
Theory and harmony applied directly to the fretboard to help you understand what you're playing.
My goal is to give you the tools to become independent and unleash your creativity, all in a relaxed and motivating atmosphere. Lessons are available for both children and adults.
Ready to take your game to the next level?

By adapting to the level, I propose to approach the guitar through pieces chosen by the student which we will analyze by ear and work on together.

This teaching method aims to place the joy of playing at the heart of the process, allowing for a more engaging and accessible approach to theoretical concepts. Having trained at a conservatory and with 10 years of experience, I have explored a different teaching approach through playing in groups practicing free improvisation.
I was a student of Thibault Abrial (guitarist for Trust, Johnny Hallyday and Michel Berger) between 2017 and 2024, and I draw inspiration from his teaching methods.

Learning chords or theoretical knowledge (triads, scales, arpeggios) is done at the student's request.

The goal is to emphasize active listening, in order to understand how to play without reproducing a score: the use of tablature will be as an additional tool and not as a structuring principle of my approach.
