I have been playing guitar for over 35 years—since 1987—and my formal education was in music education. I grew up in Marietta, Georgia, not too far from where I live now; I attended East Cobb Middle School and Wheeler High School (both in Marietta), and then Abilene Christian University (in Abilene, Texas). My principal instrument throughout my school years was alto saxophone (but I also played a good bit of baritone sax as well), and like all music education majors I learned to play all the wind instruments typically found in school bands...and of course, throughout all of that, I learned to play guitar as well. I play or have played bass, lead and/or rhythm guitar in many bands and musical projects in and around the metro Atlanta area over the years, in styles ranging from punk rock, to '60s garage rock, to metal, to experimental, to blues, to country, to heavy psychedelic rock, and lots of other genres along the way.

"Stephen is an extremely experienced and effective teacher. He tailors lessons to the student's skill and objectives and closely monitors progress to ensure the plan is still appropriate. He is a very good listener and works to ensure the student is comfortable and understanding the concepts. Stephen effectively structures the next lesson based on the progress achieved at the last lesson. He is an excellent communicator and explains complex concepts in plain English. He is always on time for lessons and is totally reliable. Overall an outstanding guitar teacher."

"I have been taking lessons with Stephen for most of the year now. I go weekly and practice at home in between. I had played before and knew the basics, but I've learned so much more about technique and theory, and, most of all, I've gotten more confident and comfortable playing the guitar. I look forward to our weekly lessons and miss the ones I have to skip because of other obligations. Overall, I have found him to be a very knowledgeable and patient instructor. I recommend him to anybody looking for guitar instruction and even sent my son to him."

"Stephen deserves 6 stars. He is extremely knowledgeable in both electric and acoustic guitar instruction and performance. It's hard to find guitar teachers that are both expert in their playing ability and high quality teachers. I have taken lessons from him over the past year and he is able to tailor our time to my interest and work on areas that need improvement. If you are new to guitar I have no doubt he can assist you in making you enjoy the guitar and make you a better player. His home studio is awesome; set up for great acoustics."

"I have been taking in-person lessons from Stephen for about 7 months now and he has been great! I have already made a lot of progress starting as a complete beginner. I love that Stephen can teach me any song I request as well as help guide me on anything guitar related! He has helped me with purchase recommendations, technical sound design, books, recommending guitar techs. Pretty much anything that I need help with guitar related he has been my guy! I highly recommend Stephen to anyone trying to learn more about guitar."

"Stephen is patient, encouraging, friendly, and talented. The value of his service far surpasses the price. He tailors his lessons based on your style providing tabs for your favorite songs, as well as warm up exercises. In addition to all of that, he can send you audio AND video files of your lessons to review at your leisure. I would highly recommend his services to children and adults of all ages. (I am 37...if I can do it, so can you!)"
