About Guitar Lessons and Recording - Electric Giraffe...
Private lessons will advance you further and faster than anything else you can do - regardless of your current skill level. Imagine hearing a song for the first time and instantly playing along with it. Imagine understanding songs, not just memorizing a series of notes and chords. Imagine creating your own songs, improvising, and soloing with ease. That is what it means to really play the guitar - a goal that is much easier to reach than you think, but sadly few guitarists receive the proper instruction to achieve it. My mission is to help you master the guitar as a true musician. You won’t just learn how to play a song or solo over a progression. You will learn what makes the song work, how to manipulate it, add to it, change it, and mold it into anything you desire. I teach students that range from absolute beginners to advanced guitarists and provide each of them with the same attention and dedication - assessing the areas that need work and patiently guiding them through the process to reach their goals. But don’t just take my word for it - read what my students are saying in their reviews. Then contact me and let's get started helping you reach your musical goals.

Mark is an excellent teacher. I am an adult beginner player in my 50s with some background in piano, and have been studying with Mark for about 6 months. I have made a lot of progress, and Mark has helped build up a range of different skills, and given me useful tips on how to practice effectively and improve. He is also very reliable (no last minute cancellations!), courteous and interested in helping you find your own journey, and an excellent musician himself so always a pleasure to hear him demonstrate different styles and techniques. Highly recommended.
He is a great teacher and very kind :)
Mark has helped my playing improve immensely since I started taking lessons with him. Mark's endless knowledge of music theory has really helped my understanding of the fretboard and has allowed me to grow as a player. I highly recommend taking lessons with Mark.
Mark is great! I've had a handful of guitar teachers over the years, and Mark is by far the best, most knowledgeable, most accommodating, and most fun.
Mark is a wonderful teacher - thorough, knowledgeable, and professional. My knowledge of the fretboard and ways to approach harmony are growing every week. Thanks Mark!
Mark is wonderful. He is so laid back and he teaches really well. He is encouraging and fun to be around! My daughter really enjoys her lessons with Mark.
Excellent teacher, very patient and knowledgable. I have learn a lot and clear a lot of question in just two sessions. Highly recommended.
Mark is an excellent guitar teacher. He not only teaches practicing guitar skills, but also talks about the theory behind the music and guitar, which makes it easy for me to understand what I'm doing, and really intrigues my interests towards guitar. The lesson environment is great. It is in Mark's studio where there are keyboard, drums, and a big screen around, which makes me feel really nice.
Mark was patient and helpful with my daughter and I, especially since we both took the summer off from playing and were feeling a little rusty. I like his approach to teaching so far!
