Performing & recording guitarist
Hi, I’m Michael!
With a twenty year musical career spanning album sessions trading solos with Grammy-nominated musicians, the completion of an undergraduate degree in Music Performance, extensive experience on both sides of the desk in commercial studios, and live performances across the country, I bring experience, professionalism, and polish to projects. And fun. Fun is nice, too.
Remote session guitar production
Whether you’re looking to round out a singer-songwriter demo with tastefully composed rhythm guitar parts, co-write that elusive Middle 8, add depth to a chorus with melodic fills,
or push your project over the top with a memorably musical solo performance, I’ll prioritize the fulfillment of your vision and we might even enjoy ourselves along the way!
A better guitar lesson awaits, in-person or online
Our guitar lessons will cover everything you need to know and nothing you don’t - and include customized materials I’ll write out specifically for you - all at reasonable rates.
Learn pragmatic concepts you will instantly apply to take your playing to the next level based on your individual wants and needs.
Spice up your solos, gain a command of playing across the fretboard, master harmony fundamentals and learn to recognize and anticipate chord changes, improve left- and right-hand technique, and more!
In-person lessons are available for musicians in the Bay Area in California (though we can always connect in-person if I’m on the road in your neighborhood!), or as virtual lessons.
