Hello,

I graduated from Berklee College of Music. I play pop, rock, folk, funk, and blues. I teach guitar lessons for beginners, intermediate, and advanced guitarists.

If you are a beginner guitarist, the goal is for you to have fun very quickly, especially if the guitar is a passion alongside your work/high school-college-university. I will teach you to play the songs you like and to sing along to the guitar if you wish. There is no need to know music theory.

If you are intermediate or advanced guitarist, I can help you to work improvisation, rhythm, harmony, composition, or technique, according to your desires.
We'll play the songs you like (rock, blues, and funk standards) so it stays fun and not just theoretical. The idea is for you to assimilate these themes in order to better understand music, develop a more personal style, and above all, have even more fun playing.

Do not hesitate to contact me for more information.

I try to combine theory with practice so that I can start making music and enjoy the instrument from the start.

Hello, welcome to my ad!

My name is Matéo and I am 26 years old. I have been playing guitar for 9 years and teaching it for 5 years. After studying at the conservatory and music school, I obtained my Diploma of Musical Studies (DEM) specializing in jazz guitar. Over the years, I have been able to accompany around forty students, both in private lessons, group lessons and at the conservatory where I teach today.


OPTION1) The course I offer is aimed at beginner to intermediate level guitarists, of all ages (children too!), in acoustic and electric guitar.
My goal is to give you the essential basics of the instrument (body position, technique, chords) as well as an understanding of fundamental musical concepts (rhythm, ear, reading tablature and/or music theory) which will be very useful to you as a musician.
We will base our learning as quickly as possible on real pieces of music, if possible suggested by the student because I think that learning by playing the music you like is the most motivating method.
As a teacher, I have always adapted as best I could to each profile to make them learn in the way that suited them best, make them play the music they like, help them with their difficulties and push them to surpass themselves in their abilities.
Finally, I always make sure that the lessons take place in a calm and pleasant atmosphere so that the student progresses at their own pace and learns while having fun.


OPTION 2) This course is for intermediate to advanced guitarists (and musicians in general) who want to acquire a deeper understanding of music theory. What we can cover, depending on your needs: analysis, harmony, composition, transcription, improvisation, music theory, ...


Lessons can take place at my home, in the 15th arrondissement, or at the student's home where I can travel (for an extra) within a reasonable radius.

Declared via CESU (Universal Employment Service Check) or self-employed invoice.

Pro guitarist, composer/producer for my group Cartoon Theory and in my name, and live session, I offer personalized lessons according to the musical tastes and the level of the student.

The long-term goal is for the student to become independent and acquire a good methodology allowing them to achieve their goals.

I propose different areas of work such as:

- The pure technique of the instrument (back and forth exercises, tapping, sweeping, scales, positioning of the hands on the neck, endurance, etc.)

- Practice where one or more pieces will be played, from one lesson to another in the student's desired style, and depending on the level.

- improvisation, therefore the acquisition of vocabulary (licks/plans) in order to be able to express oneself on accompaniments in all styles, and in different contexts, and make the link with theory.

- recording: depending on your ambitions, I can give advice on how to record yourself at home independently, whether it is practical or material.

- mixing in a home studio, to be able to create mixes yourself, understand concepts and processes for mixes in different styles.

- Composition: Having composed for different projects, I can teach the different ways of composing although it is relatively personal.

- Possibility of intensive COURSES over several days.

Prices will vary depending on the options chosen (intensive course, home lessons, etc.)
