COSMIC PIG STUDIOS

Guitar Lessons


Guitar lessons with a Juno Award winning guitar player. Learn tone and the application of scales and riffs to music through timing and feel. Learn to count to 4. Learn the seven ways to play a single note. Learn the details that separate the great guitar players from the mechanics.


Private online or in person.  Tailored lessons that target your weak areas and keep you advancing. Beginner to advanced in all styles. Real world application to playing in bands and on stage.

I've developed a simple method based on tried and true techniques using two basic scales and the value of rhythm. Navigating the fret board is not complicated using root notes as your guide. It's a musical conversation with periods, exclamation points and question marks. The grammar in music is created with timing and notes. Ending a phrase on the downbeat often creates a period. Ending on the 2 beat often creates a question mark. Understanding the language and how to apply it using timing and feel is the key to playing well.
