What will we learn? My classes are designed for students of all levels: from those who want to seriously delve into their instrument, studying technique, harmony, theory, and reading at a professional level, to those who simply want to improve their knowledge of the instrument they play in their free time. I pay special attention to beginners, regardless of age, ensuring proper finger placement on the instrument, whether it's electric, acoustic, or classical guitar. And... online learning? Yes, it's possible! All you need is a good internet connection and a webcam with a decent microphone (I can help you choose one if you need it). Throughout the classes, I'll share materials and exercises via email, and you can record your practice sessions and send me the videos so I can review them before the class. The pandemic has forced us to find efficient solutions to keep going, and luckily, online music instruction works. And... if you'd like to learn more about the program and how we can adapt it to your needs, just write to me and we can discuss it. I believe that classes should be adapted to the students' interests, level, and time availability, so that they are enjoyable, stress-free, and progressive. Throughout my 25 years of teaching, I have successfully developed what I consider a program of "essential" knowledge for a serious, contemporary musician. My students say about me... Bxxxxxxxx Matteo is a highly qualified teacher who adapts perfectly to the student's style and level. The classes are varied and enjoyable, with a very friendly and trustworthy approach. Good teacher, good person. I recommend him 100%. Pxxxxxxxx He is the teacher I have been looking for for years. He quickly understood what I wanted to learn, and his teaching methods go far beyond what I expected. I sincerely hope that nothing will prevent me from continuing to receive his lessons for a long time, because his contributions are invaluable. Sxxxxxxxx I really like learning with Matteo. He always explains things in a way I can understand, chooses pieces to work on that are both enjoyable and focus on where I need to practice, and takes the time to answer all my questions completely. I'd recommend him to other students. Matteo is an excellent teacher; he prepares his classes very well, is patient, and explains both theory and technique very well. He also has a wealth of resources, publications, and sheet music. In addition, he is a composer and knows a lot about music history. I recommend him to anyone who wants to learn or improve their guitar technique; he is very professional. Mxxxxxx A great teacher with training in many styles, his classes are enjoyable but packed with high-quality content. He is able to adapt to any student's needs and is one of the most complete professionals in Valencia. Totally recommended; you'll even improve your playing posture. 10/10. Cxxxxx Matteo is a great guitar teacher. He's always very prepared for our lessons and is a very experienced guitar teacher and player. The classes are very enjoyable, and I'd highly recommend them. Mxxxxx Fantastic, enjoyable, easy, and varied classes. Matteo pays attention to detail and the student's interests from the very first minute. It's a pleasure to have him as a teacher. Matteo has tremendous knowledge of the guitar and music in general. Not even his modesty can hide it. I observe a great commitment to teaching in him, which is noticeable from the first contact. Matteo is patient and pleasant to work with, and at the same time tenacious when it comes to helping you improve your guitar playing.
Extra information
I have worked as a guitar and music theory teacher for 20 years in Italy, giving private lessons and teaching at three private music schools. I have had the pleasure of teaching students of all ages: young people starting to play guitar (which is why I have always placed great importance on the proper approach to musical study), adults cultivating a passion for music, and students committed to developing professional skills. My training is extensive, including a degree in classical guitar, years of private lessons in rock and jazz guitar, a degree in Philosophy (with a specialization in pedagogy), a diploma in classical composition, and a master's degree in Scoring for Film, Television, and Videogames from Berklee College of Music in Valencia. Furthermore, having lived in Spain for the past six years and studying regularly at the Official Language School, I have acquired more than enough language proficiency to teach effectively.

I am a pro guitar player with 30 years' experience. I play in the US rock band One Eleven Heavy but am based here in Valencia, Spain.

I will take you through the basics of guitar playing - forming chord shapes, learning picking and strumming techniques, playing simple songs. Once we have a few basics down, I will start to take you through various scales and modes, enabling you to learn how guitar players construct chords and solos, all of which lead to the ability to write songs.

We can start at your level and work at your pace. Each and every learner has her/his own speed and style of learning and that will be fully taken into account. We can devise a programme of learning before you even pick up the guitar to practise. Ideally classes will take place in my home in Náquera, Valencia, as face-to-face work is much more conducive to achievement, but I am also available to educate online via Zoom/Teams.

I am not a Spanish speaker, so these classes are primarily for those who speak English. However, we can very likely proceed even if you don't speak English as music is, of course, universal.

My goal is to help you get to the point where you enjoy playing your instrument and beyond. In order to do so, I believe it is important to understand basic musical notions such as Intervals, Chords, Scales...

Additionally, this will help you learn your favorite songs and enable you to find your own musical voice.

Here's a little bit about me:
-I have been playing for more than 12 years.
-I have done a 6-year program at the EMEA School Of Art in Toulouse, France. This includes one on one guitar lessons, music theory classes, singing classes, and live performances with the school’s Modern Music band.
-I did 2 years in the Hamilton High School Guitar ensemble.
- I completed a Jazz Improvisation class at the university of Chandler-Gilbert, AZ.
-I was the lead guitarist in an Arizona local band from 2015 to 2020.
-I was a guitar teacher at the School of Rock LLC Gilbert, AZ(2019-2020)

My proposed course of study is based on the educational program at the Berklee Institute in Boston. To engage students, the performance of famous songs is explained in each lesson, taking from these ideas to expand technical and musical knowledge.
During the course, rhythmic and accompaniment skills are developed, as well as the bases for improvising, addressing the languages of different genres: blues, rock, jazz, fusion, Latin.

If you are a beginner and you can't get along with all the content on Youtube, if you have stagnated as a self-taught person, if you have had bad experiences with other teachers or if you have never even tried to play an instrument in your life because you don't even know how to clap and you think you won't be able to, then you need to contact someone who is passionate about music and teaching... and that's me! More than 17 years of experience with students of all ages, tastes and levels. Full month with a fixed shift of one hour per week at the teacher's home or online:

I teach acoustic guitar and singing for people who want to perform as soloists — whether that’s for intimate gigs, ceremonies, songwriting, or simply to feel confident playing and singing at the same time.

My approach is practical, musical, and grounded in real performance. We focus on:
• accompanying yourself on guitar in a way that supports your voice
• finding keys and arrangements that actually suit you
• rhythm, dynamics, and groove (even with just one guitar)
• building confidence to sing freely while playing
• stripping songs back to their emotional core

Lessons are tailored to where you’re at — beginners are welcome, as are singers who already perform but want stronger guitar skills, or guitarists who want to feel more at home with their voice.

This isn’t about perfection or flashy technique. It’s about connection, feel, and learning how to hold a room with just a guitar and your voice. We can focus on simply singing or guitar as well, if you like.

I am a professional musician with extensive experience as a teacher and in live performances, having participated in numerous concerts and tours covering a variety of musical genres, from blues to rock, pop, fusion or heavy metal.

I lived in London for six years. During this time, I recorded three studio albums with collaborations from artists such as Richie Faulkner (Judas Priest) and Paul Quinn (Saxon), and I also toured with numerous bands and artists like Blaze Bayley (ex-Iron Maiden), Sepultura, Grand Magus, and others.

This career path has allowed me to develop great versatility and adaptability across different settings and styles, understanding the importance of conveying emotions and connecting with the audience through live performance. Furthermore, I specialize in musical composition, creating custom arrangements, and studio recording, which has given me in-depth knowledge of the music production process, from the initial concept to the final product.

I am currently developing a teaching method specifically designed for guitarists, which aims to enhance technical refinement and harmonic understanding applied to the guitar. This method combines practical exercises, music theory, style analysis, and specific techniques so that students can optimize their technique, improve their musical expression, and develop a deeper sense of harmony, thus achieving comprehensive growth in their guitar playing.

Additionally, I'm a certified recording, mixing, and mastering technician. I can teach you how to record yourself properly, self-produce your music, and achieve a professional sound.

Ultimately, my passion for the guitar goes beyond performance; I am passionate about transmitting all my knowledge, experience, and love for music to my students, helping them discover their potential and develop their own style, with the certainty that solid technique and a deep understanding of harmony are fundamental to growing as complete musicians.

I offer both in-person and online classes (English or Spanish), adapting to the needs of each student.
