Hey! I’m Matt, a guitarist with 20+ years of playing experience and a passion for helping people tap into their creativity through music. I’ve played everything from punk and post-hardcore to blues and ambient experimental, and I love tailoring lessons to what gets you excited to pick up the guitar. Whether you’re brand new or want to break out of a plateau, I focus on real-world playing, creativity, and building confidence — not just dry theory and drills. We’ll work on songs, techniques, and sounds that resonate with your style and goals. I’m currently based in Chicago and offer lessons for teens and adults, both in-person and virtual. Let’s make music.

Full-time musician and dedicated music teacher in the vibrant city of Chicago, IL. Armed with a Bachelor's in Vocal Performance from Central Michigan University and a Master's Degree in Sacred Music from the University of Notre Dame, I've immersed myself in sound and melody.
