Adult Guitar Lessons
Beginner Guitar Lessons for Adults Who Want to Actually Enjoy Learning
Nobody is judging you here. No YouTube rabbit holes, and no months of exercises before you play something real. Private lessons online or in Los Angeles, built around the music you want to make.
Start With Songs, Chords, and Momentum
Adult beginners don't need more random information. They need a plan, a patient teacher, and a few early wins that prove the guitar isn't out of reach.
We start with songs you already know and love. Technique gets built on top of them, so practice always has a reason.
Lesson one is built to answer
- What do I practice first?
- How do the chords actually connect?
- Can I play something real, fast?
- How do I stay out of bad habits?
- What do I do between lessons?
Listen to the playing behind the lessons.
Here's a short clip of the sound students are chasing. Real songs, real sound, practice with a reason.
Built for Adults Starting From Scratch
Always Wanted to Play
You've wanted to play for years. You want a straight start that doesn't feel scary.
Tried Before

Busy Schedule
Focused lessons that fit a busy week, online or in person in Los Angeles.
Guitar styles students often ask about.
I'm not trying to turn you into a copy of anyone. The songs you already like are just the easiest door into chords, rhythm, riffs, and writing your own stuff.
Ed Sheeran
Acoustic rhythm, progressions that loop, and songwriter guitar that clicks fast.
Olivia Rodrigo
Pop-rock energy, simple riffs, and songs that say how you feel.
Noah Kahan
Open chords, folk-pop strumming, and songs that tell a story.
John Mayer
Smoother chord changes and lead ideas, for adults who want guitar to sound musical.
