Private Guitar Lessons & Teachers in Vineland, NJ

Hello future students! I’ve been teaching the guitar to kids and adults for over 15 years, and I’m just as excited today as when I first started! My musical journey began at the age of 14 when I joined the music conservatory in Brasilia, Brazil. Later, I went to college for music education and moved to the US to study Jazz Performance at the University of Louisville. Having studied classical, jazz, Brazilian, pop, rock, country, and blues guitar over the years, I'm confident in teaching most styles. I’m very sensitive to each student’s learning style and goals, and my aim is to facilitate your journey and meet your needs to the best of my ability. I look forward to meeting you!

I am a seasoned guitarist with over two decades of playing experience, delving into the world of strings since 2001. My musical journey includes studying under the illustrious Greg Howe of Shrapnel Records and collaborating with phenomenal local guitarists. Specializing in rock and heavy metal, I've created a sonic haven on my YouTube channel, regularly sharing my passion with the world. As a mentor for over 20 years, I've honed my skills in shaping sounds and budding talents. Join me in the realm of roaring riffs and soulful solos as we embark on a musical odyssey together!

With over two decades of experience as a guitarist, I've embarked on a musical journey primarily self-taught and guided by a holistic approach to learning. Embracing a slightly unorthodox method, I've found joy in collaborating with musicians of all skill levels, exploring diverse genres and styles along the way. Currently, I'm immersed in playing guitar with a church band, where I enjoy a wide range of music and continue to learn and grow. While my coaching experience is limited to teaching family members in my youth, my passion for music is boundless. Equipped with acoustic and electric guitar proficiency, I'm eager to share my love for music and help others discover the joy of playing.

I picked up the guitar after hearing Blink-182 live and knew instantly it was what I wanted to do. Since then, I’ve written well over 100 songs and played my way through styles ranging from rock ’n’ roll and metal to pop, punk, and blues. What I love most about teaching is seeing that moment when everything clicks and the guitar becomes more than just practice, it becomes passion. My goal is to make learning feel easy, so every student leaves not just with skills, but with a love for the instrument.

"I grew up around music, my dad played but I felt weird asking him to teach… he’s way too strict. Found Mitch and he was very pleasing to work with. I can now play and I know all the chords and some scales. He gives a lot of homework and wants you to practice. He can be strict but he knows what he’s doing.

My journey in the musical circus began alongside John Eddie in 1981, and since then, it's been a whirlwind of creativity and collaboration. From recording with Columbia and Electra in the late '80s and early '90s to crafting songs that have earned acclaim at the CMA's and landed on albums by Brantley Gilbert, Miranda Lambert, and more, the ride has been unforgettable. Alongside these milestones, I've had the privilege of working with icons like Bryan Adams, Kid Rock, and Sammy Hagar, among others. Currently, you can catch me jamming with 40 North, a beloved country band lighting up the tri-state area. Let's keep the music playing!
