Breaking Barriers: Embrace a New Approach to Guitar Learning
I believe in inclusivity and providing opportunities for all individuals to pursue their musical aspirations.
Traditional methods like reading sheet music can sometimes hinder adults on their musical journey. Many have also struggled to apply the knowledge gained from online guitar tutorials, finding it difficult to play in tempo, memorize chords, perform solos, or play in a band setting.
That’s why we offer an alternative learning method that celebrates individuality and meets you where you are. Our approach focuses on who you are as a learner, allowing you to thrive and enjoy the process of music education.

The CGA Guitar Method
My contemporary structured guitar method will provide extremely satisfying results for those who have had issues in learning to play the guitar properly in the past and do not have the time to study a variety of subjects to compliment what a standard teacher can offer.
# 1 Basics
Your first step is to acquire a solid foundation on how to play the songs you love( Ed Sheeran, James Brown, Clapton, etc) in a group format.
#2 Hear & Play
The objective: Hear a song you love (simple of course), figure out the chords and melody on your own and play it with your group.
# 3 Styles/Improvisation
Start improvising in Jazz, Funk, Flamenco and Blues styles. This is where the fun really starts happening !
#4 Advance Improvisation
You will soon need to play MORE and more. Learn more improvisation techniques to make all your songs grow even more in Jazz, Blues, Clamenco and any contemporary style.
