About
I am an experienced guitar teacher and a professional musician. One of the most satisfying ways of learning the guitar is by learning the songs you love. It is how I did it and I find one of the best ways to learn and keep practicing. Send me a DM :)

Student "Josh Cairney" and myself at a recital concert
Josh came to me at 12 with his mom and didn't know anything about guitar. Here he's playing lead guitar and well on his way to where he is today. He has his own band, PA system and is a fantastic player and humble musician. Proud of you Josh!

Robbie had a lot of patience and consideration for this "newby". I very much enjoyed the guitar lessons. Thanks Robbie. May get back to them one of these days.
In the month I've been working with Robbie I have learned serval pivotal skills that have already changed and will continue to enrich my musical experience.
He recommended I read a book called The War of Art by Steven Pressfield. The premise of the book is to help identify what holds us back and how to overcome it.
My main aha! moment so far was when I was stumbling to play something I'd been working on. Robbie stopped me and said, "you've put in the practice, now trust yourself." I closed my eyes and nailed it! Thanks Robbie!
