About me

Hi, I’m Brett! I can't wait to help you break out of your guitar playing rut

I first showed an interest in music when I was 12. I discovered my mom’s old guitar in a closet under the stairs. After learning my first  grunge rock song from a neighborhood friend I was hooked.

 

From that point on, I followed a path that led me to earn a bachelor's degree in guitar from Missouri Western State University. Since then I have had a diverse career as a performer, and educator.
 
I remember what it was like to be stuck in that intermediate rut. It's not fun and sometimes it feels like there is no way out.  I have made it my goal to help intermediate guitar players break out of the dreaded rut for good.

 

I have taught over 20,000 guitar lessons and each week I teach people all over the world. 

 

Patience is something that I do not lack. I am willing to take as much time as necessary to help my students reach their playing goals. 
Whether your goal is to be able play better solos, jam with/start a band, write better guitar parts, or just strum your favorite songs for personal enjoyment, you are in the right place.
With over 20  years of teaching experience you can guarantee that you will get the results you are looking for. 
The classroom isn’t the only place you’ll find me.  I can be seen and heard on the Kansas City music scene most weekend nights as both a solo performer and as a member of some of the cities best bands.
