I am an accomplished singer and musician, who can play multiple instruments, including guitar, tin whistle and bodhrán. I am most proficient with guitar and have played and performed in multiple musicals and bands in Ireland, writing music for new musicals The Flamingo and Dragon: A New Musical.I play electric guitar, acoustic guitar and electric bass, and have performed in bands in Galway, one of the top busking and musical cities in Europe. I teach through songs students connect to, and positive reinforcement. I cater to beginners mostly but can also teach more intermediate players. I typically teach pop , rock and folk guitar. Lessons last 30 minutes. I have played guitar professionally for five years and have taught all ages from 10-adult. I begin with simple chords and songs, I believe most popular songs have very simple chord structures, and if you follow these structures not only will you be able to learn these great songs but also take steps in writing your own songs in the future. I mostly finger pick and use my right hand to play songs and music, much in the style of Mark Knopfler, but can also play with a pick. I can teach you how to pick the strings to make soft melodies or hard rock songs, and then graduating into creating your own songs as well. I have written songs for my own shows and for others musicals as well. For those more intermediate, depending on the genre they are interested in.
