Geetar Lessons.

[Steve Vai]

Hey peeps. I'm starting to give lessons again part-time for those interested. Been playing for over 20 years. Fluent in blues, rock, and metal.

I know my modes and scales, have a good handle on soloing techniques, theory, and improv. Let me know what you're interested in learning and I'll let you know if I can help!!

Here's some YouTube clips of various jibberish...

Blues...

There are few artists I know everything from like Slayer, Rage Against the Machine, the first 4 Metallica albums, etc...

You can learn this thrash classic!!

Too bad we didn't live closer, my son needs a new teacher...

I'd imagine most sessions would be straight from work so that gives me a pretty good range. How far are you from the shop?

10 mins from BSA camp (mooch) west so not close 🙁

Bump. Updated. Recorded a couple new jams in other styles to see if that catches anyone's interest.

I can bring my gear with me and we can jam after races 😀

I have a couple spots that just opened up if anyone's interested. $40 an hour. I come to you, I have my own stuff, you just need your guitar and amp.

More recent playing, but if you're a beginner, don't let this intimidate you. Most of my students have less than a year experience so I completely understand what's it's like starting out...

If you play already and just want to have some fun, here's the arpeggio lick at about 32 seconds in. Have fun!!

And here's a bonus minor arpeggio lesson. Same concept. 2 3-string shapes laid on top of one another. This is something I do a lot in my playing.
