A teacher who has actually played the gigs
Music is my biggest passion and playing guitar is what makes me happiest. I have played in original and cover bands for almost 30 years, and my goal is to pass that joy on to you.
I like every style of music and I love working with students. The most important thing I teach is how to enjoy playing.
Watch a lesson, a cover, a solo
My son loves his guitar lessons. He practices daily and can't wait for the next lesson.
Fantastic teacher. My son has learned so much from Fernando.
Fernando is an amazing instructor and musician. Since taking private lessons with him my knowledge and technique improved a lot.
