I can give you a hand with basic settings to improve the sound through Skype... which is basically the mic volume settings, but I am not going to waste your time or mine in a lesson to explain how to use Skype, if you have difficulties with initial set up, you can find all the info on the skype homepage or ask me about it in a message or email.

guitar101ramstein blogspot launched.

I'm starting this page to coincide with my guitar101ramstein youtube channel account. I made some youtube videos over the last few years and the feedback has been really good so the plan is to do more, as time allows.
I teach through a company in Germany for about 25 -30 hours a week  


To summarize things, I work full time as a musician and music instructor, I teach primarily guitar lessons but also Bass, percussion, music production, song writing and occasionally even beginner level Banjo.


My approach in teaching comes from being able to relate to what it was like to just start out, taking lessons from great players who did not explain things so great and a devout passion for music. A lot of video lessons I have seen, fail to go into enough detail for anyone simply just starting out. I also teach intermediate and advanced levels, however I still focus on different approaches and aspects that are usually overlooked in most standardized ways of teaching guitar that are readily available.
